Kodagu (Karnataka),  Karnataka Police on Saturday said that it has launched a hunt for a person who worked at a hospital in Madikeri city for taking photos of dead bodies of women.

According to police, the accused Syed, who worked as a peon at the Madikeri District Hospital, clicked the photos at the mortuary.

He initially joined the hospital as a Covid warrior.
