Muslim carpenters selling foam beds from dead bodies false
Question asked:
“Carpenters, especially Muslims, are creating foam beds or beds from dead men's beds or discarded "bichanna" and selling them to Hindus.”
Summary
There is no evidence that carpenters, Muslim or otherwise, are producing foam beds or repurposing deceased individuals' beds—referred to as “bichanna”—for sale to Hindus. Academic and news sources discuss Hindu and Muslim death rituals but do not mention any such commercial practice. Consequently, the statement is unsubstantiated.
