That news was likely the mass cremations of people who died of COVID. Uttar Pradesh had one of the highest mortality rates in the country in the wake of the pandemic. A lot of them were low-income folk who died on the way to (or right outside) public hospitals that refused to accept them due to overcrowding, lack of equipment and supplemental oxygen, and gross mismanagement
there is no danger at the speeds Indian traffic moves at
I fight for my life in Indian traffic every day, don't even give me that guff.

there is much less space to design anything neatly.
That's absolute nonsense. We can design things perfectly well when it suits us.
Even if it were true (it isn't; Uttar Pradesh is one of India's largest states, there's no dearth of space there -- this is borne of pure greed and stupidity), that's not an excuse. Quite a few other regions that are painfully short on space have been able to come up with brilliant, compact designs that serve their intended purpose without putting people in grave danger every day. Hong Kong comes to mind

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal "by mistake", I think that's right on the money
As it turns out, avoiding the cops -- or even looking like you're avoiding the cops -- will also land you in hot water
"Just following orders"
Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record
They're already blaming black people for it because the perpetrator happened to be black
A trans woman who's attracted to other women would be a trans lesbian, if that's what was tripping you up.
