The body was of Salamani Barik, a 76-year-old widow which lay for hours at a community health centre in Soro town in Balasore district after she was run over by a train on Wednesday.
Since there are no post-mortem facilities in Soro, she had to be taken to a hospital in the district headquarters which is 30 km away.
Since no ambulance was available, the railway police decided to send the body by train and for that they allegedly asked a sweeper to arrange for the body to be taken to the station.
Since rigor mortis had started, the body began to get stiff. To make it easier to carry the body, the workers broke its bones at the hip, and strung it to a bamboo pole before walking to the railway station.
The Odisha Human Rights Commission has asked for an explanation from the railway police and the Balasore district authorities.
