Delhi Blast Victim Relatives Allege Harassment From Mortuary Officials

New Delhi, Sep 8: The relatives had come to collect the bodies of their loved ones, killed in the Delhi High Court blast, but were entangled in web of bureaucratic formalities at the Sucheta Kripalani hospital's mortuary on Thursday, leading them to give vent to emotional outbursts and some even hurling abuses at the officials.

The relatives accused the hospital authorities of hassling them and delaying handing over the bodies to them.

"First they told me to get a polythene wrapper for the body. Then after 15 minutes, they asked me to get a four metre cloth again to wrap the body. Couldn’t they tell me to get those things at the same time?” said Sukhdev Singh, who had come to collect his friend Inder Singh’s body.
