Telangana Police Carry Body On Pushcart For Post-Mortem After Road Accident

In a disturbing sight in Telangana's Narayanpet, police officers carried the body of a 28-year-old accident victim on a pushcart after an ambulance failed to arrive despite repeated calls.

As per reports, the victim, identified as Mogulayya, was killed on Sunday, August 17, when his two-wheeler was struck by a tipper lorry at the Shivaji chowk, a congested one-way stretch. He died on the spot, as per the officials.

The police at the scene called for an ambulance to transport the



body to the Kosgi Government Hospital, located half a kilometer away from there, for a post-mortem. However, the ambulance did not arrive even after multiple requests. As crowd gathered at the accident site, blocking traffic, the police decided to use a pushcart, typically used by vegetable vendors, to shift the body.

The reckless method of transporting the body sparked outrage among residents, many of whom described the incident as "insensitive" and evidence of poor arrangements for handling emergencies.
