However, it is not able to find a site because of strong opposition from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena led by Raj Thackeray. The Kalwa unit of the party has said it will not allow the body to be buried in the area since it will be "defiling" the burial ground. The family is now on the look out for a site where it can secretly carry out the burial under police escort.
Meanwhile, local activists have expressed concern over the accumulation of bodies in the morgue.
