लोग कह रहे हैं कि बलिया में जो हुआ वो क्रूरता की पराकाष्ठा है क्योंकि पुलिस की मौजूदगी में जानवर नहीं इंसान की लाश को टायर से जलाया गया।
हम क्यों भूलजाते हैं कि सत्ताधीश संघ मानसिकता धारियों का इतिहास जिंदा मुसलमानों की गर्दनों में टायर डाल कर जलाने से भी भरा पड़ा है। pic.twitter.com/M7Tyx8k78D— Navaid Hamid نوید حامد (@navaidhamid) May 18, 2021
In the video clip, the policemen are seen standing while a man pours petrol into a heap of burning tyres where the bodies were placed.
Sources said that the bodies were in an advanced stage of decomposition and firewood was not available nearby.
The incident was in violation of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directive that all bodies must be given a dignified cremation/burial. — IANS
