In a shocking incident, a woman’s dead body in Uttar Pradesh’s Mohabbatpur Jeeta village of Kaushambi district was transported on a motorcycle to the Sato Ghat cremation ground due to the unavailability of a vehicle.

The incident has triggered widespread outrage on social media, drawing significant attention and prompting debates across various platforms.

The deceased has been identified as Buddharani died under suspicious circumstances, NDTV reported. However, the woman’s relatives allege that it’s a murder case.

Samajwadi Party president and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has also reacted on the incident and shared the video on his X handle. Launching attack on the Uttar Pradesh government, Yadav said, “What could be more shameful than this? There is nothing more to say to either the Chief Minister or the Health Minister.”

Following the incident, the police conducted a post-mortem and handed over the body to her family. The case is currently under investigation.

The deceased woman’s husband, Changulal, and son, Dharmendra, work in private jobs in Ghaziabad. At the time of the incident, the family had no access to a hearse, forcing them to take the drastic step of transporting the body on a motorcycle, NDTV reported.

District magistrate Madhusudan Hulgi informed that concerned officials have been instructed to submit a detailed report on the entire incident at the earliest, following which further action, if any, would be taken.

In July 2018, a video from Madhya Pradesh’s Tikamgarh surfaced online showing a man carrying his mother’s body on his bike for a post-mortem. The woman, identified as Kunwarbai Banshkar, was a resident of Mastapur village. Her family had allegedly been refused a mortuary van by the district hospital after she died from a snake bite.
