In the interview with NDTV, the 6- year-old boy’s name is Derek C. Lalchhanhima of Sairang. Sanga said that Derek’s father was the one who told him the story of the accident and shared the picture with him.
According to Sanga, Derek’s father had mentioned that the boy came home while holding the neighbor’s chick that he accidentally run over with his bicycle and got killed. And he didn’t know that the chick was already dead, as he begged his parents to take it to the hospital. But the father said that he should go by himself.
So with all the money he had, Derek went to the nearest hospital and begged to help the chick he was holding. With the young boy’s innocence and humility, the hospital nurse clicked a photo of the young boy and shared it online.

Derek was sobbing when he came back to the hospital and asks for more money with a hundred rupee. But now, his parents finally explained that the chick was dead and they cannot do anything.
His act of kindness spread, as the news reached the school where he studied. His school decided to honor him and they give Derek a certificate of recognition and a shawl draped on his school uniform.
