According to BBC, local residents said there is a possibility that these bodies came out of Uttar Pradesh.
Chausa district official, Ashok Kumar said, "Some 40-45 bodies were seen floating. The bodies seem to have been thrown into the river. By some accounts, there could be closer to 100 bodies.”
Many now fear about the infection from the bodies and from the river water.
A villager added, "People are terrified of getting COVID. We have to bury the bodies."
