Noida Couple Caught on Camera in Intimate Act in Mortuary Freezer, Police Make Arrest

Noida police arrested three people after a video of a couple getting intimate inside a mortuary freezer went viral on social media. The video, almost a month old and started circulating recently, shows a woman seated on what appears to be a deep freezer, with a man standing in front of her. Moments later, another man, who was recording the scene on his smartphone, captures them in a compromising position. The man filming the video instructs the other man to go slowly, adding, “Main bhi karunga [I will also do it].” The video has sparked concerns over a security lapse and potential tampering with evidence, as the mortuary regularly receives five to seven corpses daily, including those related to criminal cases.

According to a TOI report, the man caught on video in the compromising situation is Sher Singh, a sweeper at the mortuary. The police have taken him into custody along with Parvendra, the cleaner who recorded the video, and Bhanu, the driver who was present during the incident.

“What was the guard doing at that time? The mortuary also has on duty a supervisor, a doctor and a pharmacist on rotation. We will request the Noida administration to deploy more security guards at the post-mortem house. We also plan to install CCTV cameras there soon,” TOI quoted Noida chief medical officer (CMO) Sunil Sharma as saying.

In an official statement, the CMO noted that Noida police received a complaint regarding an obscene video filmed inside the postmortem house in Sector 94. The statement confirmed that Sher Singh’s employment had been terminated with immediate effect after he was found guilty of the misconduct.

The statement further mentioned that a three-member committee had been formed to investigate the incident. It comprises deputy CMOs Dr Jaisalal and Dr RP Singh, along with Dr Rishabh Kumar Singh, a forensic expert at District Joint Hospital. Dr Jaisalal, who oversees the postmortem house, will lead the investigation.

The outlet further reported that the police have filed a case under BNS Section 296 (anyone who does any obscene act in any public place) and Information Technology Act sections 67 and 67A (publishing or transmitting obscene or sexually explicit material in electronic form). The men have been produced before a local court and are currently in judicial custody. The identity of the woman in the video was not disclosed.
