BHUBANESWAR, Odisha, India - Trawling the hospitals where victims of India's worst train accident in two decades were taken, Mohammed Imam Ul Haq found the body of one nephew on Tuesday , but the remains of what he thinks was a second nephew were also claimed by another family.
They were aboard the Coromandel Express, one of the three trains that collided in the Balasore district of the eastern state of Odisha on June 2. At least 288 people were killed in the crash, and 1,200 injured. Haq is convinced that he has found the remains of his 12-year-old nephew, but he says "there are five more claimants who are saying it is their relative."
As of late Tuesday, officials counted nearly a hundred unclaimed bodies lying in hospitals and mortuaries across Odisha, meaning many more families were facing a similar plight.
