Viral since 2019<\/h4>\n

The same photographs were viral last year when it was claimed that the incident took place in Odisha and the woman’s father and son had to take such measures because the hospital did not have an ambulance. “If this is true, it’s useless to reach the moon,” the claim ended with this statement.<\/p>\n

The claim was circulated on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"2016 incident<\/h4>\n

A Google reverse-image search of both the images leads to a One India<\/a>\u00a0article published in 2016. While the incident did occur in Odisha, it is three years old and the two men breaking the woman’s bones are not her husband and son, but health centre employees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The incident was reported across mainstream media outlets, including\u00a0The Indian Express<\/a>, India TV<\/a>, India Today<\/a>, NDTV<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Hindustan Times<\/a>,\u00a0among others. An elderly woman had died in a train accident in Odisha’s Soro. The region does not have a hospital but a community health centre where the old woman’s dead body was brought. Due to the unavailability of an ambulance and auto-rickshaws charging over Rs 3,000, two workers of the health centre broke the woman’s body at the hip for easy transportation to a nearby railway station. It needed to be transferred 30 km away to Balasore for postmortem.<\/p>\n

Photographs of the incident are currently viral on social media, which might give the impression that the incident is recent. However, it took place in 2016 and the men breaking the bones of the dead body are not family but health workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
