Dead Body Transported in Garbage Vehicle in Madhya Pradesh
Imagine someone found dead, and no one knows who they are.
In Katni, India, after 72 hours, they were supposed to be taken for a respectful goodbye.
But, instead of a special car, they put the body in a garbage truck!
They even used a metal bar to drag the body.
Even though a nice car was available, they didn't use it.
People were very upset because it wasn't respectful.
The police and hospital are being questioned, and the person in charge said the garbage truck was arranged by the city.
A video shows a dead body being transported in a garbage vehicle in Katni, Madhya Pradesh.
The unidentified body was found 72 hours prior in the Kuthla police station area.
Instead of a hearse, the body was loaded into a garbage tractor-trolley with an iron rod.
A social service organization provided a hearse, but it was not used.
The Kuthla Station in-Charge claimed arrangements were made by the municipal corporation.
