The incident occurred in Padiadeh village under the Khategaon police station limits.
"Taking cognisance of the video clip that surfaced on Tuesday, police registered a case against two men, identified as Rajesh and Bhagat, under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for negligence," said Additional Superintendent of Police Suryakant Sharma.

"They reached the spot without a trolley and dragged the carcass with a tractor," he added.
