NEW DELHI (BLOOMBERG) - India s actual death toll from Covid-19 could range between 1.3 million and a staggering five million, with even the most conservative estimate putting its tally at more than double the United States , the highest recorded in the world so far. The numbers, derived from research models and local authority data, range from three to 10 times the country s official count, adding to evidence that the true cost of India s outbreak has been massively under-reported. As corpses floated in the Ganges, a river sacred to millions of Hindus, and crematoriums and graveyards were overwhelmed, scepticism grew over the death toll of around 420,000 recorded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi s government, which has used the ostensibly low mortality rate to defend India s Covid-19 track record.
