The body is placed in the mortuary for post-mortem which will be carried out only after his family comes. The ASI said the deceased camel cart driver reportedly lived alone in Kota and worked to transport goods by his camel cart. ‘It is not unnatural when a camel attacks people when angry. The animal’s hold is strong enough to crush a person’s head,” said Dr Neel Kamal Saxena, a senior veterinary doctor.
