Hospital Mix-up Leads to Wrong Cremation in DelhiSaralnama

Pankaj Singh's body was mistakenly cremated in Delhi. The 39-year-old fell from a roof in Prem Nagar. His body was sent to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital. Due to a mix-up, another family received Pankaj's body instead of their relative, Bharat Bhushan. They cremated Pankaj's body, thinking it was Bharat's. Pankaj's brother Pradeep discovered the error when he went to collect the body. He refused to accept the ashes, unsure if they were his brother's. Pradeep has asked the Rohini District Police Deputy Commissioner to file an FIR against the hospital staff and police for negligence. (Updated 3 Oct 2025, 21:51 IST; source: link)
