Ankit is surviving like this since many years. Whatever he earns spend it feeding himself and danny. The local authorities get to know about the Ankit when someone clicked a picture of both sleeping in one blanket at night outside a closed shop, and it went viral.
The boy around 9-10 years old is now under the care of the district police after Muzaffarnagar SSP Abhishek Yadav had pressed a police team to search him several days ago.
According to the tea stall owner where he worked at times, Ankit’s dog never leaves his side. “The dog would be sitting in a corner as long as the boy worked here. Ankit is self-respecting and would never take anything for free, not even milk for his dog,” he said.
