Missing for Over a Month, 'Dead' Son Returns Home as Tripura Man Performs His Last Rites

News 18  

When Akash Sarkar returned home on June 7, he received an unexpected welcome: his father — assuming the 22-year-old to be dead — was half-way through conducting the rituals for his last rites. In a bizarre turn of events in Kalibazar area of West Tripura district, an alert villager stopped Pranab Sarkar in the nick of time from completing the ‘shradh’ of his son who went missing a month ago. We had made all preparations for the ‘shradh’ when a villager called me to stop the rituals, saying my son was approaching home.” Akash, meanwhile, claims that it was his aunt who brought him home. Allegedly addicted to drugs, Akash said he moved out of his home a month ago with the bag which was found near the corpse and often begged for a living.
