After outrage over martyrs’ remains in make-shift boxes, Indian Army calls it an ‘abberation’
On Sunday, a tweet posted by Retd Lieutenant General HS Panag sparked outrage which showed the mortal remains of defence personnel who were killed in a chopper crash. The photographs showed their bodies being carried in make-shift cardboard boxes, tied up with ropes.
It was even more ironic that the incident occurred on Air Force Day. Looking to clarify, ADGPI Twitter handle wrote: “Mortal remains of heptr accident in HAA on 6 Oct 17 recovered, sent wrapped in local resources is an aberration. Fallen soldiers always given full military honour. Carriage of mortal remains in body bags, wooden boxes, coffins will be ensured.”
