A shocking incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, where a 35-year-old schoolteacher died, but her body was not cremated for months. Instead, her 75-year-old father, who is a retired clerk from UP’s Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad, kept the dead body at home for nearly four months, spraying perfume to hide the smell. The truth came out when relatives informed the police after they traced the elderly man in Begabafh and brought him back. There, he allegedly admitted the body was still inside the house, leading to the recovery.
