Ashoknagar: In a shocking incident, the body of a woman, who allegedly committed suicide, was taken for autopsy in garbage vehicles by police here in Madhya Pradesh.
Terming it as a ‘blot on humanity’, Chief Minister Kamal Nath ordered stern action against those responsible for the ‘negligence’. Puja Ojha (22) allegedly committed suicide on the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday at her home in Ashoknagar city.
Some newspapers carried pictures of her body being taken to the district hospital for autopsy in a garbage vehicle on Tuesday. Nath on Wednesday assured strict action against those found guilty of negligence.
“The incident of carrying a womans body in a garbage vehicle and a dumper (truck) in place of an ambulance (hearse) is a blot on humanity,” he said in a tweet in Hindi. ‘The pictures of such incidents are heart-breaking and this cannot be tolerated. Instructions are issued for strict action against those responsible for negligence,” he added.
The deceased’s husband, Narendra Ojha, said his wife, who was three months’ pregnant, was depressed after her medical check-up revealed the foetus died in the womb. On the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday, Puja Ojha allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling hook at their home here, according to the police. The husband alleged that the body was taken to the district hospital in a tractor-trolley, which is otherwise used for carrying garbage, instead of an ambulance. (PTI)
