Outside the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital mortuary on Wednesday afternoon, several families were waiting for the dead bodies of their loved ones. The post-mortems of those killed during the Delhi riots are being performed here.
Some have been waiting since Monday, when the first deaths in the violence occurred. Hospital authorities says it takes two hours to perform each post-mortem if there are bullet wounds, and that four have been done so far – one on Tuesday and three on Wednesday.
