Answer:
Outside the CNG cremation chamber at Nigambodh Ghat, Dinesh Singh stood in the sun wearing a blue protective gear, waiting for his turn to perform the last rites of his father, Abhay Singh, 65, a retired municipal officer who was “suspected” to have died of COVID-19.
Singh’s body had been lying in an ambulance for over two hours. His turn will come after four-five hours, Mr. Dinesh was told. The wait did not antagonise Mr. Dinesh too much. He had already been through worse in the last 10 days. Five of those days were spent making the rounds of Lok Nayak Hospital to claim the body of his father. The hospital was not ready to hand over Singh’s body to his son as the former’s COVID-19 test report hadn’t arrived. Finally, on the morning of May 20, Mr. Dinesh signed a document which said “suspected case of COVID-19” and took the possession of the body from the hospital mortuary.
“His body has begun to putrefy and boils had started appearing. He had retired as an inspector-rank officer from MCD. How could they treat him like this after death?” asked the son.
Mr. Dinesh said his family’s ordeal started on the night of May 9 when his father complained of fever. He called for an ambulance at 11 p.m. but it arrived at his residence seven hours later. Singh was taken to Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital where they admitted him in the emergency ward.
“A few hours later they told me that they were shifting my father to the Lok Nayak Hospital because he had symptoms of COVID-19. We were apprehensive about the facilities at Lok Nayak but the hospital did not listen to us and sent my father there around 10 a.m.,” he said.
On reaching Lok Nayak Hospital, Mr. Dinesh was allegedly informed that there were no beds available and Singh was left unattended on a stretcher in the corridor. “I begged them to attend to my father but they kept sending me from one department to another. My father was hungry and thirsty, I brought him a packet of biscuits. Around 4 p.m., they finally decided to admit him,” said Mr. Dinesh.
