Coronavirus claims 4,529 lives in India in a single day
New Delhi
The death toll from the coronavirus pandemic in India is much higher than the official death toll.
To cover up the actual number of deaths, bodies of the COVID-19 victims are being dumped in running water and sometimes secretly buried.
According to the Kashmir Media Service, several videos produced by Soch Bharat Production team that went viral on social media show that there is no space left for cremation at crematoriums.
The videos show hundreds of bodies floating in the Ganges and buried en masse, even though the bodies must be cremated according to the Hindu religion.
Corpses floating in the Ganges and those cremated in crematoriums reflect the dire situation in India.
Social media journalists in these videos say that the world has never seen such a grim picture of India since its independence where in order to hide the bodies of those killed in the epidemic they are sometimes dumped in the Ganges and sometimes buried in the ground en masse. They say that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is responsible for this horrific situation.
India saw record 4,529 deaths and 267,533 COVID-related infections in a single day.
According to Kashmir Media Service, this is the highest number of deaths recorded in one day since the outbreak of pandemic in India.
As per the data issued by the Indian Health Ministry the fresh killings pushed the COVID-19 death toll to 283,248, while fresh infections took the total tally of cases to 2,54,96,330.
While Indian state of Maharashtra continues at the top with the highest deaths so far, the western state has been surpassed by Karnataka for largest number of cases being reported last week.—INP
