Bodies of suspected Covid-19 victims washed up on the banks of the Ganges river in northern India, with the frightening visuals sparking shock among locals as well as on Indian social media.
Dozens of bodies were spotted floating in the river at Bihar state’s Chausa town and later piling up on the banks to the horror of residents.
Officials claimed the bodies floated down from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh state and belong to coronavirus victims whose relatives, being poor, were unable to afford cremation and discarded the remains in the river.
