Iranians in India Expose Tehran Atrocity: Pay For Bullets Or No Bodies Returned
Iranians in India describe Tehran chaos: hospitals full of bodies, bulldozers clearing streets, and families forced to pay thousands for bullets used on protesters.
Amid ongoing unrest in Iran, Iranian expatriates in India have painted a harrowing picture of the situation in Tehran, describing overflowing hospitals, streets littered with bodies, and families being forced to pay for the bullets that killed their children.
Abgine Khaki, a Tehran native currently residing in southern India, recounted the ordeal after speaking with her parents on Tuesday evening. “My father told me hospitals are full of bodies. The administration is using bulldozers to clear the streets. They’re not even handing over the dead to families unless they pay—around 500 million Toman (approximately $4,000 or ₹360,000),” she said.
Khaki added that some officials were reportedly demanding payment for the bullets themselves. “What kind of state does that to its own people?” she questioned, highlighting the extreme measures taken against civilians during the crackdown.
