This incident reminds us of the trails of Dana Majhi, a tribal man from Odisha who walked 10-km carrying his wife's body on his shoulder in Kalahandi district in August 2016 after being allegedly denied a hearse by the district hospital. The incident had triggered a country-wide uproar.
In March this year, a differently-abled son and his sister were reportedly forced to carry the body of their father on a rickshaw after they were denied a hearse van in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki. There are several such instances that have been reported in past.
