During investigation, it was found that the person died of Covid on May 6,” Mishra told .

“As per the statement of the deceased’s brother, his kin did not have enough money to cremate the body. Moreover, the villagers told the family members that cremation of Covid victim could be a hazardous to health for others. Hence, they had dug an 8 feet deep pit in their own land to bury the body,” Mishra said.

“After the patient had succumbed to Covid in Sadar hospital, the hospital administration then sent the body in an ambulance to the village on May 7.

The complainant of the incident was the driver of the ambulance. We had cross checked about the incident with the victims’ family members. During the process of burial, some onlookers filmed it and made it viral on social networking platforms,” Mishra said.
