Hyderabad bus fire: Agonising wait for families waiting to claim bodies

"All I am asking for is my son's body," it was as though the poignant scene from Anupam Kher's iconic Saaransh was coming alive at Hyderabad's Forensic Science Lab. In the film, the character played by Mr Kher breaks down before an official who asks for a bribe in exchange for the ashes of his son's body. In Hyderabad, grieving relatives were vexed because they felt circumstances beyond their control were not letting them take away whatever remained of their dear ones, who are gone forever.
