Mumbai Police Find Preserved Body of Man Kept by Family for Nearly Four Years
In Mumbai's Malad East, police discovered the preserved body of an elderly man who died naturally in June 2022, kept in a closed daycare centre's freezer for nearly four years. The man's daughter, reportedly a lawyer, chose to preserve his body due to emotional attachment and engaged a foreign company for long-term preservation. Authorities found no foul play, and the family is considering performing last rites or sending the body abroad. The case is under police investigation with legal aspects being examined.
