NEW DELHI: A shocking video showing dogs eating bodies of suspected COVID-19 victims on a riverbank at Kedar Ghat in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi has gone viral on social media. Local residents, who had complained to the district authorities to make arrangements for proper disposal of these bodies, said that the bodies had possibly been dumped upstream into the river, a tributary of the Ganga. They supposedly got stuck in the sand and were later drifted towards the banks after heavy rainfall in the past few days raised the water level. Street dogs, apparently attracted by the stench, pulled the bodies out of the water and were now feeding on them.
