Indian Authorities Waive Autopsies On Chabad House Victims

India Express reports today on efforts to have the bodies of those brutally killed in the Chabad center in Mumbai returned to Israel for burial without autopsies being performed. Jewish law generally prohibits autopsies. The Israeli Consulate sent a request to Mumbai's Police Commissioner and to the Home Minister to hand over the bodies without autopsy so they can be buried according to Jewish law. DNA India reports that a letter from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs approving these arrangements arrived Saturday night.
