Madhya Pradesh govt. hospital faces inquiry over transportation of woman’s body in garbage vehicle
In the three-minute video, men are seen wrapping the body in a plastic sheet and placing it on the tractor-trolley.
A recent incident in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district has led to an inquiry into the transportation of a woman's body from a government hospital. The body of Rukhsana Khan, who had been missing for about a month, was found on August 5 and sent to the civil hospital in Bada Malhara town by the police. The viral video, captured on August 5, shows men wrapping the body in a plastic sheet and placing it on a garbage-collecting tractor belonging to the municipal body.
The relative of the deceased questioned the lack of basic amenities at the hospital and accused the local administration of neglecting the dignity of a deceased person. The district administration is investigating the matter, recommending disciplinary action against the Block Medical Officer (BMO) based on the inquiry by the Chief Medical Health Officer (CMHO) and the local Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).
The incident adds to a series of issues highlighting the gaps in Madhya Pradesh's health infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.
