Bhopal: This is called the ‘second coming’. Literally.
A 30-year-old man was declared ‘dead’ after having contracted coronavirus during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two years later, he has returned home alive to tell a horror tale.
Family members of the man, identified as Kamlesh, were told by authorities that he had succumbed to the deadly disease in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district. His body was not handed over to the family, as per standard operating procedures (SOPs) at that time.
Civic authorities informed the family that they performed Kamlesh’s last rites.
Now, his return has stunned everyone, including his family members, who identified him as Kamlesh.
The man himself was in a state of shock when he was reunited with his family.
Once he gathered himself, Kamlesh revealed that he was with a gang in Ahmedabad where he was being injected with an intoxicant every alternate day.
There is a lot to investigate – Kamlesh’s ‘death’ and what happened to him since his ‘disappearance’.
Authorities in Dhar district have launched a probe to solve the mystery.
