UP: Man takes young sister's dead body home on bike after not getting ambulance; 2 doctors removed

The deceased was identified as Anjali (20), daughter of Prabal Pratap Singh, a resident of Naveen Basti West, who was electrocuted after she accidentally touched an immersion rod used to heat water. The young woman was rushed to the hospital where she was declared dead by doctors. Following this, the youth was seen crying and holding his sister's dead body in his arms. There was no ambulance available at the hospital to carry the dead body home.

Auraiya (Uttar Pradesh): In a heart-wrenching incident, a youth was compelled to carry the dead body of his sister on a motorcycle after hospital authorities could not provide an ambulance to him in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya district. The incident took place at the Bidhuna Community Health Center (CHC) on Wednesday morning. Two doctors posted at the health centre were removed on Wednesday.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Shishir Kumar Verma said an investigation was carried out and action was taken against the superintendent of the health centre located in Bidhuna, Dr Avichal Pandey, and Dr Kriparam, who was posted there. The decision was taken on instructions from Uttar Pradesh Health Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Verma said.

The deceased was identified as Anjali (20), daughter of Prabal Pratap Singh, a resident of Naveen Basti West, who was electrocuted after she accidentally touched an immersion rod used to heat water. The young woman was rushed to the hospital where she was declared dead by doctors. Following this, the youth was seen crying and holding his sister's dead body in his arms. There was no ambulance available at the hospital to carry the dead body home.

The elder sister and brother of the deceased Anjali tied her body with a dupatta while placing it on the bike. None of the officials posted at the CHC helped them to get an ambulance. The distraught siblings left for home without conducting a post-mortem of the dead body.

Taking to X (previously known as Twitter), Uttar Pradesh Congress slammed the BJP government in the state and said, "The video is in front of Bidhuna CHC of Auraiya. A crying brother is unsuccessfully trying to place his sister's dead body on the bike. Two people are also helping him. Do you know why this happened? Because it did not get an ambulance to help."

It further said, "Due to non-availability of ambulance, not reaching hospital on time or lack of some small resource, someone or the other dies in the state every day. But, Pathak ji cannot see even with powered glasses. Think! This sister must have taken a promise of her safety when she tied Rakhi on her brother's wrist. So would the brother have thought that he would be so helpless in saving her?"
