Indore Reports Hit-and-Run Death, Mortuary Lapse And Suicide Case
Two separate incidents were reported in Indore.
In the first, a 50-year-old man named Mukesh was riding a motorcycle when an unknown vehicle hit him from behind.
He fell from a bridge and died after being taken to a hospital.
His relatives later said the hospital’s mortuary freezer was not turned on, so the body began to decompose.
They protested, and police sent the body for an autopsy.
In the second incident, 24-year-old Manoj Thakre died after consuming a poisonous substance.
Police found a note in which he blamed his wife and her family for harassment and alleged that they demanded Rs 5 lakh.
Police have seized the note and are investigating.
