Denied hearse van, MP man takes mother’s body on bike
In yet another case of lack of medical facilities, a man was forced to carry the body of his mother on a motorcycle for postmortem.
The woman, identified as Kunwar Bai, died on Monday due to a snake bite. Her family then informed a district hospital in Mohangarh for a postmortem to be conducted.
However, the hospital allegedly denied sending a hearse van for the deceased.
Thereafter, Kunwar Bai’s son and her relatives brought her body on a motorcycle to the hospital for the postmortem to be conducted, a video of which was widely circulated on social media.
An official of the district administration has demanded an inquiry into the matter.
“I was not aware of this incident, however, I have asked for an inquiry into the matter. Those guilty will be punished,” said Upper Collector of the district, SK Ahirwar.
