The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has terminated one staff member while another has been suspended, this comes a day after the bodies of two COVID-19 patients were exchanged while being taken for the last rites.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, AIIMS trauma centre had on Wednesday set up a committee to probe the matter.

Moments before the body of 35-year-old Anjum was to be buried, Sharif Khan decided to have one last look at his sister who succumbed to the novel coronavirus. However, he received a rude shock when the corpse lying in a body bag beside the freshly dug grave turned out to be someone else’s.
