Son fights for Christian father's burial rights in India, facing religious and legal obstacles.

In a case before India's Supreme Court, Ramesh Baghel seeks permission to bury his Christian father in their village's graveyard, after locals opposed the burial due to religious differences. The body has been held in a morgue for 12 days. Chhattisgarh's High Court denied permission, citing potential unrest. The Supreme Court expressed concern over the case and will hear more arguments on January 22.
