A shocking episode in Telangana has led to public outcry after the police were filmed using a pushcart to transport the body of a man killed in a road accident. The incident, quickly becoming viral, shows the body being moved on the makeshift vehicle because an ambulance was not available at the scene.
The unfortunate event unfolded on a Sunday when Mogulayya, riding his two-wheeler, was involved in a collision with a tipper lorry at Shivaji Chowk. The crash occurred on a busy one-way street, resulting in the immediate death of the rider, as per the official account.
Upon their arrival, law enforcement officials requested an ambulance to transport the body to the Kosgi government hospital for a post-mortem. However, the ambulance did not arrive. With the need to move the body urgently, the police employed a pushcart, typically used for selling vegetables, to fulfill the task.
This decision to use a pushcart has garnered significant criticism from locals, who have accused the authorities of insensitivity and inadequate preparedness.
