26/11 terrorists now troubling the dead at JJ

With 1 room sealed, 25 bodies had to be disposed to make space for new corpses

The bodies of the nine terrorists involved in the 26/11 attacks have created a lot of problems for the staff of J J Hospital who've had trouble managing the other bodies in the mortuary.

There are three rooms to store bodies and with one sealed with the terrorists' bodies, around 40-45 bodies were crammed in the other two.

But last month, the air conditioner of one of the rooms broke down and all the bodies were put in one room, which can accommodate only 18, said a doctor who looks after the mortuary.

A few days back, the hospital had to dispose off 25 bodies, by either cremating or burying them.

"A few days before that, some 15 bodies were disposed off in a day to make place for newer bodies.

Now, if a relative comes to claim the bodies, they will have to go away empty-handed. Our people have to suffer because of the terrorists," said a source from the hospital.

Even after these disposals, there are still 40-45 bodies in the one working room.u00a0

The rooms are around 300 sq ft in size.

However, Dr Mohan Jadhav, dean of J J Hospital, said, "I won't be able to talk about the terrorists' bodies.

But on the space issue, there are very few bodies now, so they won't decompose. Most of the bodies have been disposed off."
