Humanity Shamed: Bodies of Three Workers Dumped Like Garbage at Raipur’s Ramakrishna Care Hospital

Raipur
In a shocking display of callousness that has shamed humanity, the bodies of three sanitation workers who died while cleaning a septic tank at Raipur’s prominent Ramakrishna Care Hospital were reportedly smuggled out the back door like trash and sent for postmortem without informing their families.

The incident unfolded yesterday at the hospital in the state capital, where the workers lost their lives during the hazardous cleanup. Eyewitness accounts and reports indicate hospital staff furtively removed the bodies through the rear entrance, loaded them into an ambulance in gunny bags typically used for waste, and dispatched them to the morgue—bypassing any notification to grieving relatives.

“What kind of respect is this for the dead?” sources close to the matter questioned, underscoring a stark violation of cultural norms that a deceased person’s body—regardless of religion or caste—must be handled with dignity.

The egregious mishandling has sparked public outrage, with calls intensifying for the Chhattisgarh State Human Rights Commission to take suo motu cognizance and initiate a probe. Hospital authorities have yet to issue an official statement, leaving families in the dark and the public demanding accountability.
