Relatives of BARC fire victim rage as cremation is stalled for 36 hrs due to delays in post-mortem and problem in paperwork
It took more than 36 hours for the Singhs to cremate the body of their scientist son Umang Singh (25), who was killed in the fire at BARC on Tuesday afternoon.
This was because the body was handed over to them 30 hours after the incident and when they went to the crematorium, they were refused as the post-mortem (PM) report didn't have a stamp of the hospital.
It is common knowledge that PMs don't take more than three hours from the time a body is handed over to a PM centre. Umang's body was handed over to JJ Hospital on Tuesday evening.

The body was released only after 8 last night, and to make matters worse, the doctors forgot to stamp the copy.
