 sources revealed that the management of the hospital on  Saturday night had commenced the release of the corpses on the directive of the IGP, to the wives and relatives who could identify their people. It was learnt further that the immediate commencement  of release of the corpses was not unconnected with the odour of the oozing from the bodies about six days ago.
