A WION news report quoted the hospital’s anatomy department’s HOD, Dr. Mariam Ashraf, claiming that the bodies have been piling up on the roof due to cops’ and rescue officials’ negligence.  Dr Ashraf said that cops and rescue officials bring the bodies and ask the hospital to keep them till they return. However, they do not turn up, and the bodies continue to rot on roofs.

“When the bodies keep lying, they get infested with maggots who start eating them, and travel from one body to another. This is why, the decaying bodies are kept on the roof, where there are three rooms,” Dr Ashraf said, as quoted by WION report.

How the Horrific Discovery was Made

As per reports, the matter came to the fore after Zaman Gujjar, adviser to CM, was on a visit to hospital. During his visit, a person came to him and said, “If you want to do a good deed then go the morgue and check it out.” When he arrived at the morgue, the staff didn’t open the mortuary doors.

“Vultures and worms were scavenging on the corpses on the roof. Our tally showed there were at least 35 bodies on the rooftop of the mortuary. The bodies after being used for medical education purposes should have been given a proper burial after Namaz-e-Janaza, but they were thrown on the roof,” Zaman Gujjar said.
