Kollam (Kerala): For Kerala college student Alif Mohammed, a friend in need is indeed a friend indeed, quite literally.

Born without legs, friends of Mohammed do not let his disability get in the way of his attending college as they make sure that the BCom student of DB College in Kollam district’s Sasthamcotta has no difficulty attending his classes.

Two of his friends carry Mohammed around the premises of his college, situated in Kerala’s Kollam district. A video of this gesture captured by a wedding photographer has now gone viral on social media capturing the hearts of viewers.
