Coronavirus | Inquiry ordered into dumping of dead bodies

A video purportedly showing health workers dumping some bodies of COVID-19 victims in a mass grave in Ballari district in Karnataka triggered a massive outrage on social media on Tuesday.

The video shared by Congress leader DK Shivakumar showed officials "inhumanly" dumping bodies in a large pit.

The authenticity of the video was confirmed by the district administration which said that the entire field team involved in the incident has been disbanded.
