Panic ensued in Jamui after a highly decomposed body was discovered on a stretcher inside a post-mortem house at Tripurari Ghat, which has been locked for years. The body was found inside the main gate, which was locked from the outside. The strong stench emanating from the body caused significant distress to nearby residents.

Local youths, passing by the post-mortem house, noticed the foul smell. Suspicious, one youth managed to get inside, where he found the severely decomposed body, infested with insects, on a stretcher. News of the discovery quickly spread, drawing a large crowd to the scene.

The incident has raised several questions. Foremost among them are the identity of the deceased and the circumstances under which the body was brought into the long-abandoned facility. There is also speculation among locals that other bodies might be present inside the building.

Residents argue that if the body belongs to an unidentified person, standard procedures for identification and, if necessary, cremation should have been followed. The discovery of a body in a post-mortem house that has been closed for years raises serious concerns about the functioning of the hospital administration and relevant departments.

While some speculate a criminal angle, police investigation is crucial before drawing conclusions. The identity of the deceased, cause of death, and how the body reached the post-mortem house will only become clear after a thorough inquiry. As of now, hospital administration and police have not issued any official statement. Locals are demanding a comprehensive investigation into the matter and an assessment of the abandoned post-mortem house's condition.
