"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," the Russian envoy Denis Alipov tweeted.
Alipov's response came after the senior Congress leader tweeted, "Two Christians cremated not buried! Why? Hercule Poirot says burnt bodies tell no tales."
