No material gift can ever be compared to the one advocate Samit Kumar Dutta gifted to his father, late Arun Kumar Dutta. Not only is it filled with filial love but also with emotion.
Samit immortalized his father in the form of a model made of silicone, which he said would always make him feel the presence of his departed father and be inspired by.
Samit rewinds to 2012, when he was 34 and met with a life-threatening bike accident.
He not only suffered serious injuries but also became temporarily blind. By a quirk of fate, he also suffered a cerebral attack.
After a month, when Samit returned home from the nursing home, his father’s and his struggle to return to normality started.
Doctors had declared that Samit would get back his eyesight slowly but he will remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.

After years of struggle filled with pain, Samit, constantly pushed by hsi father, is now able to walk with crutches and resume his life and career.
