India Today reported that the neighbours of the deceased refused to wait for the ambulance to arrive, fearing infection spread. This compelled the staff who were present to take this drastic step.

Telengana’s Health Minister has also addressed this incident. He said, “It is disturbing how burial grounds aren’t allowing bodies of Covid patients to be cremated.”
