Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday condemned the “inhuman” manner in which Covid-19 patients were buried in Ballari, saying the incident was “extremely painful.”
In a shocking video that went viral on social media, masked men covered in bodysuits were seen bringing the dead in bags from a hearse van and throwing three of them into a pit.“ I request all those, involved in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, to treat patients with humanity and conduct the last rites with respect,” the CM tweeted.
