Kolkata: Calcutta High Court on Wednesday directed police to hand over the body of a deceased uncle to his nephew for performing his last rites. The body was lying at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital morgue since Saturday.
Shyampukur police had declined to hand over the body of Amal Coomar Bose to his nephew Abhijit Bose following opposition from the deceased's brother.
Justice Tirthankar Ghosh directed the nephew to give an undertaking to the Shyampukur police station stating that the police wouldn't be held any way responsible for granting permission and allowed him to take the body for the last rites.
