Investigation Launched into Inhumane Handling of Corpse in Buxar Mortuary

Authorities in Buxar have launched a probe into an incident where a corpse was dragged on the ground at a local mortuary. The incident, captured on camera by a bystander, shows the body of a train accident victim being moved without a stretcher. The GRP had recovered the body on August 31, 2026, and shifted it for an autopsy. The viral video has raised serious concerns about the infrastructure at the government hospital and the training of its personnel. Official statements suggest that a committee will look into whether there was a shortage of stretchers or if this was a case of pure negligence by the workers on duty. The community continues to demand justice and better protocols for handling the deceased.
