In a surprising turn of events in Mehsana, Gujarat, attendees at a prayer meet were left in shock when the person they were mourning appeared alive before them.
The man in question, Brijesh Suthar, had gone missing on October 27 from his home in Naroda, Ahmedabad. His family searched for him extensively and eventually filed a missing person report after failing to locate him. However, things took a bizarre twist when, on November 10, police discovered an unclaimed decomposed body near the Sabarmati Bridge in Ahmedabad, which resembled Suthar’s physique. His family, assuming it was him, cremated the body.
Brijesh, a 43-year-old businessman, had been struggling with mental health issues and financial stress, according to his family. “We searched for him everywhere. His phone was off, and then the police showed us the body. It was swollen, and we mistook it for him,” Brijesh’s mother told the media.
The reappearance of Suthar now raises a significant question: whose body did the family actually cremate?
“The body was found as an unclaimed corpse, and after a postmortem, it was handed over to the family,” a police officer stated, according to India Today. However, the mystery remains as to where Suthar was during his disappearance, and how he managed to return—on the very day his family was holding a prayer meet in his memory.
