Kaushambi District Orders Inquiry After Woman’s Body Taken to Cremation on Motorcycle

An official probe follows a police post-mortem after relatives alleged murder in Buddharani’s death.

Overview

  • Police said the post-mortem was conducted according to rules and that the case remains under investigation.
  • The family reported no ambulance or hearse was available, so they transported the body by motorcycle to Sato Ghat in Mohabbatpur Jeeta.
  • A video of the transport circulated widely online and was shared by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who criticized the state government.
  • District magistrate Madhusudan Hulgi directed officials to file a detailed report and indicated further action would follow the review.
  • Hindustan Times noted it had not independently verified the video, and reports cited a similar 2018 incident in Tikamgarh to underscore persistent service gaps.
