Mohammad Yusuf (40), an OLA driver had left his north Delhi Sadar Bazaar residence on August 9, but he never returned.
An Ola driver who had been missing since August 9 was found to be dead. Not just that, his family learnt recently that UP police have even cremated his body in Mathura's Ol village, which is 200 km from his house.
Mohammad Yusuf (40), an OLA driver had left his north Delhi Sadar Bazaar residence on August 9, but he never returned. His family searched for him, only to find his body. The family had filed a missing person complaint in the Sadar Bazaar police station, which was registered the following morning.
When no contact with a family is made, the body is disposed of. As per norms, police wait for 72 hours in cases pertaining to unidentified bodies. While the family is enraged at this act, police defended their stance saying "the man could not be identified, so he was cremated as per procedure".
"When they did his post-mortem, they should have seen that he was circumcised. This is complete callousness on their (UP Police) part. They should have at least waited for us," said Atiya, Yusuf's elder sister.
"If the man was a Hindu and we would have buried him, that wouldn't have been right either. He did not have any ID card. We searched the bordering villages before cremating him," said Bipin Kumar, the chowki in-charge.
On August 10, he was found murdered, with his hands tied behind his back and dumped in a canal. He left his house at 10.30 pm to drop a passenger the night before. Ola responded to his family saying his last known location was at Jhurvai, Mathura, following which the GPS went unresponsive at 12.19 am. The passenger who took the cab could not be contacted by the company.
