In the viral CCTV footage, the ward boy can be seen discreetly removing the woman’s earrings while pretending to handle her body. The act, done within hospital premises and under the guise of duty, has sparked widespread outrage online and raised questions about the dignity of the dead and the lack of accountability in public hospitals.
As the video circulated widely on social media, netizens condemned the inhuman and insensitive behavior, calling for immediate action. Many questioned how such individuals are allowed to serve in government hospitals, where empathy and trust should be paramount.
Hospital authorities, once made aware of the incident, claimed to have launched an internal investigation. According to sources, the ward boy has been suspended and a formal inquiry is underway. Shamli police have also been informed and are considering legal action based on the video evidence.
This incident isn't just about a theft — it's about the erosion of basic human decency. It has reignited the debate on the need for strict background checks, better monitoring of hospital staff, and the installation of CCTV systems in sensitive areas. Families grieving the loss of loved ones shouldn't have to fear disrespect to the deceased even after death.
