A shocking incident emerged out of Madhya Pradesh on Monday. A man from the state’s Shahdol district was forced to tie his dead mother’s body to a motorcycle and ride it back to his village 80 km away as the district hospital didn’t provide a hearse van, reportedly due to his inability to pay the Rs 5000 fee.
Two brothers, who came to to the Shahdol Medical College from the Anuppur district for their mother’s treatment, claimed that their mother died due to a lack of proper treatment. To add insult to injury, the hospital reportedly refused to provide a hearse van for transportation of her body.
