A shocking incident from Nepal has raised serious questions about humanity after two men were arrested for allegedly stealing a gold earring from the body of a flood victim.
The incident happened as Nepal continues to deal with the devastating flash floods and landslides that hit the country on August 26. Hundreds of people have died and many are still missing.
A video showing the disturbing act went viral on social media. The video reportedly showed two men using a long pole to reach a body that had been carried away by the floodwaters. They allegedly removed a gold earring from the deceased person’s ear.
Nepal Police described the act as inhumane and said there would be no tolerance for anyone disrespecting disaster victims or the dead.
The incident has left many people angry and shocked. Nepal is already going through a terrible situation, with families desperately searching for missing relatives and rescue teams working to recover bodies.
Instead of helping people during such a difficult time, the actions of a few people have created another painful story.
Reports of people taking items from flood affected areas have also added to the anger. Social media users have questioned how anyone could think of stealing from a dead person during such a massive tragedy.
The floods have destroyed homes, roads and communication networks and left many families waiting for information about their loved ones.
In such moments, humanity is expected to come first. Thousands of people are helping each other and supporting rescue operations. But incidents like this show a darker side of human behaviour.
