A man in Jharkhand who had been reported missing since May 10 returns home after his family mistakenly buried the wrong body, according to reports. The incident came to light after the family completed the burial and later realised they had identified the deceased incorrectly. Following the discovery of the mistaken identity, police take over the next steps to confirm the deceased person’s identity. Authorities begin the process of exhuming the buried body so that it can be tested. A DNA test is planned to establish who the remains actually belong to and to resolve the mismatch between the missing person’s family and the person who was buried. The man’s return to his home ends the missing-person concern for him, but the case remains under investigation to ensure the identity of the buried body is conclusively verified. Both reports describe the sequence as: the man goes missing, the family buries what they believe is his body, then the mistaken identification is corrected through police procedures.
