New Delhi, Dec 29 (ANI): Russian ambassador to India Denis Alipov on December 30 slammed Congress leader Manish Tiwari after he raised questions on the cremation of two Russian nationals who died in Odisha earlier this month. Giving a befitting reply to Manish Tiwari's tweet, Denis Alipov said, "We appreciate the investigation efforts by the Indian authorities into the death of two Russian nationals in Odisha. Meanwhile it would be useful for some Hercule Poirot lovers to learn that cremation in Russia is as customary as burial. Idleness is the root of all evil.” Manish Tewari on December 29 questioned the cremation of the two Russian tourists. Wondering why the bodies of the Russian tourists were cremated and not buried as per Christian practices, Tewari wrote on Twitter, "Hercule Poirot says burnt bodies tell no tales." Hercule Poirot is a fictional Belgian detective created by British writer Agatha Christie.
