A video showing Assam police dragging the bodies of two accident victims in plastic bags in the Darrang district of Assam has surfaced with heavy criticism on social media. The video captures two police officers dragging the bodies, covered in blue plastic bags, toward a vehicle for post-mortem.

Assam police faced strong condemnation on social media, with users describing the act as "insensitive" and "inhumane."

According to a report by NDTV, police confirmed that the victims—a father and his daughter—were riding a scooter when they collided with a parked truck on a national highway near the Saktola area, causing them to fall onto the road. Shortly after, another truck ran over them, resulting in their deaths.
