Fearing COVID19, officials dump dead man in garbage van; suspended

Coronavirus pandemic is killing humanity as well. In a recent incident, a 45 years old man was dumped in a garbage van by a few municipal workers and police officials who feared that the man might have coronavirus.

The video surfaced on social media and created a massive outrage.

The deceased, identified as Mohammed Anwar, was a resident of Sahzora village under Sadullahnagar police station in Balrampur. He had gone to a local government office where he collapsed and died later near the gate.

After the video reached the officials, Balrampur district administration and the Police officers suspended three Police officials and municipal workers.

Balrampur SP Dev Ranjan Verma called it extremely insensitive and inhuman. “We have a standard operating procedure (SOP) to deal with the cases involving bodies. Usually, UP 112 PRVs are informed which have a kit for keeping the body and carrying it to the mortuary. Following COVID -19 scare, PPE-kits have been given to each police station for wearing while on frontline duties and also while handling bodies,” he said.
