Dhanbad's only electric crematorium at Mohalbani, 20 km from Dhanbad on the bank of Damodar river, has turned into an instrument for smuggling of human organs. This obnoxious game, in operation since the past few months with the blessings of a police criminal nexus, was exposed recently when the body of one Gour Chakravorty was taken to the crematorium. After an hour, the man in charge deposited the ashes with the relatives waiting outside. But on of the deceased person's sons, Bribal, felt that the ash was cold and suspected that something was amiss. He insisted on ensuring that his father's body had indeed been consigned to flames. So when he and other mourners gatecrashed inside the crematorium, they found, to their horror, that the body had been left intact. Then he realised that the ash handed over to him was someone's else's .
