Ghaziabad Man Returns Home After Family Cremates Presumed Dead BodyPreviousNext

In Ghaziabad, a family cremated a body they identified as their missing son, Girdhar Singh, following his disappearance after an assault complaint and brief jail stay. Thirteen days after the funeral rituals, Girdhar unexpectedly returned home, prompting police to reopen the investigation to determine whose body was cremated. An FIR was filed against a neighbor and his brothers for alleged involvement in Girdhar's presumed death, which police are now reassessing.
