Body mix-up at Gandhi Hospital, kin conduct someone else's funeral

Gandhi Hospital witnessed an embarrassing mix-up of bodies of Covid-19 victims on Thursday, with one family having to search for the body of their relative, even as another family received the body and conducted the funeral. The body was not found at the morgue, triggering a hunt in the hospital.

“The body was handed over to another family, which without knowing that they had the wrong body, conducted the last rites.”
