New Delhi: Kamlesh Bhatt's dead body will arrive at Delhi Airport by late midnight. State government may provide ambulance services to carry the corpse from Delhi to Rishikesh.
Delhi High Court issued notice to the Union government for sending back the dead body of 23 years old Kamlesh Bhatt to Abu Dhabi despite his relatives having requisite clearance of the MEA to receive his mortal remains in Delhi on Sunday.
Kamlesh Bhatt’s parents, who are yet to come to terms with the sudden loss of their young child in a foreign country, were left clueless as the body was flown in and out of India within hours without giving the family members a copy of the purported MHA circular behind the new protocols.
