Two bodies were switched after the post-mortem, causing distress and anger among the relatives.
After the autopsy, the body of Surendra, who died from vomiting and diarrhea, was given to Kunwar Pal's family, while the body of Kunwar Pal, who died in a wall collapse, was handed over to Surendra's family.
Chaos erupted at the post-mortem house and continued at the police station until the issue was resolved after two and a half hours.
S.K. Belwal, Moradabad's deputy chief medical officer, acknowledged the error and assured measures to prevent such incidents, including the implementation of a more reliable tagging system.
