The Covid-19 pandemic has caused excess deaths in India to cross more than four million, a new study has found.
Excess deaths are a measure of how many more people are dying than would be expected compared to the previous few years.
Although it is difficult to say how many of these deaths have been caused by Covid-19, they are a measure of the overall impact of the pandemic.
India has officially recorded more than 414,000 Covid-19 deaths so far.
