Mizoram Boy Runs Over Chicken, Rushes It To Hospital With His 'Savings'
He has been rewarded by his School
Derek's act of kindness has won many hearts
Mizoram: A young boy from Mizoram has won the Internet over with his innocence and empathy. Derek C Lalchhanhima from Sairang, all of 6 years old, has gone viral for trying to help a chicken that he accidentally ran over with his bicycle. A post which shows him with the chicken in one hand and a ten-rupee note in the other has gone massively viral online, collecting 1-lakh reactions and more than 10,000 comments.
The post was shared online by Sanga Says, who tells NDTV that it was Derek's father who first told him about the incident and shared the picture with him.
"According to the father, the boy came home with the neighbour's chick that he had accidentally killed," Mr Sanga tells NDTV.
"He did not understand that the chick is dead and begged his parents to take it to the hospital. His father told him to go by himself, which he did with ten rupees," he says.
It was at the hospital that a nurse, taken in by the young boy's innocence and humanity, clicked the picture that is now being shared widely online.
Mr Sanga adds that Derek came back from the hospital sobbing, vowing to help the chicken and go back to the hospital - this time with a 100-rupee note.
"His parents finally had to explain to him that the chick is dead and that there's nothing they can do at the hospital."
On Facebook, Derek's act of kindness has won many hearts.
"God bless his pure and honest little heart," writes one person in the comments section. "This is heart-touching" says another.
As news of his kind act spread, his school decided to honour him. A photo shared today by Mr Sangha shows Derek with a certificate of appreciation and a shawl draped on his school uniform.
In fact, it wasn't just netizens but even Derek's own parents who were surprised by his compassionate reaction.
Mr Sanga tells NDTV that his father, Dhiraj Chhetri, a cop posted in Sairang, was surprised to see his son act the way he did.
"He's always been a rather unique kid," says his father.

Supreme Court grants anticipatory bail to Pawan Khera in Assam Police FIR
New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India on Friday granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in connection with an FIR registered by the Assam Police.
The case arose from a complaint filed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, over allegations made by Khera that she possessed multiple passports.
A bench comprising Justice JK Maheshwari and Justice AS Chandurkar delivered the judgment after reserving orders on Khera’s petition challenging the dismissal of his anticipatory bail plea by the Gauhati High Court.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court observed that the High Court’s findings were not based on a proper appreciation of the material on record and appeared to be erroneous, particularly in shifting the burden onto the accused.
The bench further held that the High Court erred in making observations regarding an offence under Section 339 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, noting that the FIR did not contain any such allegation. It stated that such conclusions could not have been drawn merely on the basis of submissions made by the Advocate General.
