There is widespread outrage over the death of a woman in Mohabbatpur Jeta village in Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh, as her body was taken to the Satu Ghat crematorium on a bike due to lack of a vehicle. The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, garnering a lot of attention and sparking debate on various platforms. Samajwadi Party president and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav shared the video criticising the state government. He wrote on X, “What could be more shameful, neither the Chief Minister nor the Health Minister has anything to say.”

According to a report by NDTV India, Budhrani, a resident of Mohibpur Jeeta village in Kaushambi’s Kara Dham police station area, died under suspicious circumstances. The woman’s family alleges that it is a case of murder. After the incident, the police conducted a post-mortem and handed over the body to the heirs. Police say that the post-mortem was done as per the rules and the matter is being investigated.

The deceased woman’s husband Chingolal and son Dharmendra work in private jobs in Ghaziabad. The report says that at the time of the incident, the relatives did not have a deer available, due to which they had to take the drastic step of taking the body on a motorcycle.

Meanwhile, District Magistrate Madhusudan Halgi has started an official inquiry. He said, “The authorities concerned have been directed to submit a detailed report of the entire incident as soon as possible, after which if any action is taken, action will be taken against him.”
Four days ago, in Chhattisgarh’s Gariaband district, a family was forced to carry the body of 60-year-old Achhabai Patel on a stretcher for about 2.5 km after a government hospital allegedly refused to provide her with a coffin.

The incident came after the woman died while undergoing treatment at the Community Health Centre in Amlipur on Monday. The family’s plight sparked widespread outrage after a video showed some men carrying the body on a dirt road.

Officials later said that local transport was unavailable due to the accident, and assured that steps were being taken to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Earlier in Nagpur, a 35-year-old man tied up the body of his wife, who was crushed by a speeding truck, and pleaded with passers-by to help on his motorbike. A disturbing video has gone viral on social media in which a man named Amit Yadav is seen carrying the body of his wife on the Nagpur-Jabalpur National Highway.

The clip was allegedly shot by the police, who later stopped the two-wheeler. The incident took place on August 9, the day of Raksha Bandhan, when the couple was going from Lonara in Nagpur to Karanpur in Madhya Pradesh. A speeding truck hit them near Mor Phata and the woman fell on the road. However, the truck did not stop and ran over her and fled the spot.
