The body of 24‑year‑old Vishal has remained in the JLN Hospital morgue in Ajmer since 29 July, with police and municipal authorities yet to arrange a burial.
On 29 July, 24‑year‑old Vishal was pronounced dead at JLN Hospital in Ajmer. The body has since been stored in the hospital’s morgue, where it remains for 20 days without any burial arrangements.
Both the police and the municipal corporation were notified about the situation, but no action has been taken to conduct a funeral or to notify the family.
The delay has drawn criticism from local residents and human‑rights activists, who argue that the authorities are violating basic dignity and legal norms regarding the handling of deceased persons.
The case remains under investigation, and the next steps will depend on the outcome of the inquiry and any directives from higher authorities.
