The post-mortem of the six dead in the bus-SUV accident on the Delhi-Meerut expressway shocked the forensic expert Dr Anil Kumar Yadav, Jagran reported.
The accident occurred at around 6 am on Tuesday (11 July). The dead bodies were carried in three government vans. The post-mortem began at 12:15 pm and concluded around 7 pm.
Dr Yadav said that it generally takes 20 mins for a post-mortem of a body but it took around an hour in this case because of the dismantled condition of the dead bodies.
He also said that he has done post-mortems of over 10,000 bodies but this case sent shivers to his spine. Especially, the post-mortem of the youngest killed, the eight-year-old girl, shook him hard.
Yadav had to call relatives for identification. The identification was possible by clothes or hands and legs as nobody's head was intact. Most of them died of brain shock due to head injury.
