Hi Friends,
As usual I was reading online news and saw this link, I was shocked to know this, I saw complete video where govt hospital worker was asking bribe.
I know that we have accepted corruption as a part of life, in death too it seems there is little respite. Some of the best hospitals in the Capital demand bribes for getting an autopsy done when it is supposed to be done for free. New Delhi Health Minister has now ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Every unnatural death has to be investigated by police and that is the reason why one should go to hospital for autopsy. These govt workers do not have heart and they are just like animals, they just need money and the reason or the scenario does not matter for them. They do not care wheather the money is coming from a dead body.

Hi. AjaySinghBaghel. This is just very sad. What some people will do for money. The money is now evil because it is being used in an unethical kind of way. I thought that the government was meant to help others out, but all they are doing is just bribing to demand an autopsy report.
What a crying shame. No wonder people are starting to have distrust in many government and legislative systems.

Bribe for autopsy!!!! That is the height.
I am rarely shocked by the bribery in India anymore. I have been asked to bribe every government worker, right from the postman to the electricity inspector. Just last week, material that I purchased from New Zealand arrived, and Custom office in the post office said the custom duty would be Rs. 2900, but if we pay Rs. 700 as a bribe, he will write it as eligible for no custom. 1 person likes this
