Motihari (Bihar): A lot of devastation has been caused by the catastrophic floods in Bihar’s East Champaran district. If the floods have collapsed someone’s house, many others have lost their near and dear ones. The story of Sheikh Bhola, a resident of Ward No. 13 under Banjariya block of Siswa East Panchayat, is quite touching as he lost everything in the devastating floods.
Sheikh Bhola's son Mukarram died while saving a buffalo from drowning in the floodwater. Neither the buffalo could be saved nor did Mukarram survive the fury of floods. He drowned in the floodwater. Sheikh Bhola, who worked as a mason, got his right hand severely damaged in an accident. Now, he is not able to do anything. The buffalo was the only source of income for him. He used to sell milk to meet his family’s needs. He was completely shattered after the death of his son Mukarram.
After a few days, Sheikh Bhola mustered all courage left with and bought a second buffalo for Rs 60,000 to earn a living. He borrowed the money from someone as he was penniless. Someone shared Sheikh Bhola’s painful story on social media, which somehow reached film actor Sonu Sood.
SONU SOOD ASSURES HELP
As soon as Bhola’s tragic story reached Sonu Sood, he assured him to give money to help him buy a buffalo. Sheikh Bhola and his wife Naida Khatoon said that a woman called them up. The woman told them on the phone that she is speaking from Mumbai and she will repay them the money they spent on buying the buffalo. Bhola and Naida said that the caller has taken their account number, but the money has not yet been credited. But the husband and the wife are confident that soon the money will come in their account.

The villagers have also thanked Sonu Sood for his generosity. Villagers Alam and Faisal Alam said that Sonu Sood has extended a helping hand to a needy person, which is a great gesture. The villagers are confident that Sonu Sood will soon send the money to the bank account of Sheikh Bhola.
SONU SOODS SHARES INFO TWITTER
It is worth mentioning here that the information about the incident of Sheikh Bhola first reached Tabinda Ali, a social worker of Mumbai. Tabinda took to twitter to share the agony of Bhola with film actor Sonu Sood, who spoke to him with the help of Banjariya BDO. The actor assured him to give the money spent on buying another buffalo.
Sonu Sood has also shared this information on Twitter. Retweeting Tabinda’s tweet, the actor wrote that “I shall not be as happy buying a new car for myself as I would be by buying a buffalo. The day when I come to Bihar, I will definitely have a glass of buffalo milk.”
