Social Apathy in Dhanbad: Woman’s Body Burned in Bathroom by Brother

In a disturbing case highlighting societal indifference, a woman's body remained in her Dhanbad residence for five days before her brother tried to cremate her indoors. Following Lipika Kumari's death under mysterious circumstances, her brother Pranav reached out to the local community for assistance with the funeral. When met with silence, he used clothes and blankets to set her remains on fire in the bathroom. Police arrived at the Vastu Vihar residential colony after residents reported the stench. Investigations suggest the family had been struggling with mental health issues since their father's passing last year.
