@balrampurpolice

Shameful , appalling visuals from Balrampur . The body of 42 year old Mohd Anwar , who collapsed and died outside a govt office yesterday , dumped in a garbage van in the presence of @balrampurpolice and taken away ....

.... visuals shot by locals place an ambulance at the spot too but those manning it allegedly refused to touch the body because of fears over the #COVID__19 pandemic ...

@balrampurpolice

...@balrampurpolice chief Dev Ranjan Verma has called the incident inhuman but says a bigger ‘enquiry’ will happen before action is taken ... its still not clear if the gentleman who died is covid positive but no one deserves such indignity ...

Truly bizarre story from UP , where a group of 69 #Covid_19 patients , transferred from the west UP city of Agra to a medical college in Saifai , had to wait outside the shut gates of the Saifai hospital for atleast an hr on Thu morning as medical teams scrambled to admit them ..

.... the patients has been brought by bus from Agra early morning on Thursday . But when they reached , there was no one to receive them outside the Hospital in Saifai . So the patients just remained outside the hospital gates like this for atleast an hour ...

@etawahpolice

... the first responders to the scene were the @etawahpolice . This is a senior police official , asking the patients , from a distance , not to lose hope and not to loiter around . He can also be heard saying there was no information the patients would be arriving ....
