# MP hospital inquiry after woman’s body transported in garbage vehicle 2026-08-10T05:49:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A viral video from Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district has triggered an inquiry after a woman's body was transported from a government hospital in a garbage-collecting tractor. The incident occurred on August 5 at the civil hospital in Bada Malhara town. The body of Rukhsana Khan, who had been missing for about a month, was sent to the hospital by police after being found that day. The three-minute video shows men wrapping the body in plastic and placing it on a tractor-trolley marked "Nagar Parishad, Bada Malhara". A relative accuses the hospital of providing the garbage vehicle for the funeral. Chhatarpur Collector Mrinal Meena told The Hindu that disciplinary action is being recommended against the Block Medical Officer (BMO). The district administration is also probing whether a mortuary van was available and who arranged the tractor. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: body transport, Chhatarpur, government hospital, health infrastructure, inquiry, Madhya Pradesh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mp-hospital-inquiry-after-womans-body-transported-in-garbage-vehicle/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
