An Indian woman identified as Muktyala Girijamma, 60, who was believed to have died from covid-19 complications and buried left family members in shock as she returns home 2 weeks after burial.
According to Nagu, Muktyala’s nephew;
“The duty doctor on that day failed to inform my uncle that she was shifted to another ward and told him that she succumbed to Covid.
“Believing it, we went to the mortuary to find her body where we were given the body of another woman. Since we could not verify the body before taking it as it was packed, we took the body home and performed the last rites.”
“we do not know whom we have cremated”.
She is said to have returned to the village of Christianpet in Jaggaiahpet Mandal of Krishna district on Wednesday, June 2, just before the family members were to perform the Shraddha ceremony – a final send-off for a departed relative.
Upon her arrival, the woman, who had walked home from the hospital, complained that no one had come to pick her from the hospital.
