And it smelled different from the rest of India how, exactly?

They must have thought it was just someone's lunch.

Can we Google Map the body?

Lou, good police work, etc.

An Uttar mess.

It smells like, like a used diaper... filled with... Indian food.

Expect the family to raise a stink.

They placed it there because the station refused to release funds for DNA testing. What the... I have nothing but utter contempt for these people.

The personnel at the station had been silently blaming each other.

So it wasn't bad curry that some guy had for lunch?

SlumLord: Can we Google Map the body?

I actually just tried that - you can't zoom in far enough to see anything.

Vindalosers.

Maybe the name is a bit misleading, but 'Towers of Silence' are usually not erected on the top of public buildings.

Jesus, I heard the Indian legal system is slow, but I would never have expected something like this.

Test results came back: he's dead.

There wouldn't be no trouble except for that king shiat cop! All I wanted was something to eat. But the man kept pushing. The drew first blood, not me.

Yum, Indian food, my fav.

Fine police work there Abu.

I'm surprised they smelled anything out of the ordinary; India is a filthy, filthy place.

Arey, what bad luck, yaar!"

anyone who's dealt with a help desk person from India is not suprised--they have one of the worst work ethics on the planet--just below the democrats

You have no idea. Spent some time with an Indian research group working to speed up their judicial process. The stories were maddening. That they even knew the location of the body is nothing short of a miracle.

After a couple months in India, this is really not surprising at all.

that's a pretty classic spot to dump a body

Only poor people deal with Indian tech support. High achievers know how to get an American on the line.

Incidentally, the following is NSFW, any decent human being and especially your mom.

But a lot of fun if you like this sort of thing.

Abu is a little monkey in a fez. Apu helps me with my squishy fix.

I admit it is a horrible case, possibly the first of its kind,' said Ram Sabad Ram, the new station master in Azamgarh in northern Uttar Pradesh state.

Interesting translation.

OMFG!

Unfortunately, the submitted article isn't so much about the "work ethic" in India as it is about a casual attitude due to the ubiquity of poverty, suffering and death, especially for those marginalized by a hereditary caste system that was supposedly outlawed in the 1950s but continues unabated. The site I linked to shows just how cheap life can be under that system.

The body left on the police station, want to be he wasn't a Brahmin?

Probably didn't notice it because the roof of the station was covered in beer cans.

FTA:
The family kept requesting the body at the police station but were repeatedly told there was an investigation underway.

Same way the Indian customer service reps treat me when I complain about my CitiMortgage bill.

Sybarite: And it smelled different from the rest of India how, exactly?

Done in one.

2 yrs? I always heard that a man can get down from there himself if you just let him alone- Before this no one's ever seen a skeleton up there, right!?

Lovely. I know where I'm going if I want to kill someone and get away with it. Jai ho, motherfarkers!

Geez, no wonder India stinks. They couldn't find a better place for the body than on the roof?

You do know that Obama has played more rounds of golf in 9 months than Bush did in 2 1/2 years, right?

Don't include politicians when you talk about work ethic.

I'm throwing out the "poverty porn" line that so many protesters were using during the height of Slumdog Millionaire's popularity.

Want to compare vacation time taken? I think not..

Anyway, what are you doing right now?

I agree with all of the India stinks comments but the article says that the body was reduced to bones after 2 years of exposure to the elements. Earlier it says the body was put in a body bag and then placed on the roof. Those statements appear to be at odds with each other. Body bags are pretty stout and being placed on a roof in India in one of them would be similar to putting a roast in one of those oven cooking bags. The meat may be falling off the bones but there would still be a pretty soupy mess in there. Or did something compromise the integrity of the bag?

/Not sure if I want to know what kind of research has been done on the long term viability of body bags exposed to the sun on an Indian rooftop.
