The relatives surrounded Azad at RML Hospital and complained to him that despite a 10-hour wait, they were not handed over the bodies of the victims. NK Gupta, relative of the deceased Nalini Aggarwal, alleged that the family got a confirmation of her death at 12 noon but the post mortem was not conducted till late night.

Azad told the relatives that no one expected such an emergency. "We are taking every step to ensure that such things don't repeat," Azad said.
