A 72-year-old man,believed to be dead by his kin who even carried out a burial,returned home on Friday to the surprise of his family.

The family of one Moidu from Naduvanadu village near Irutty town came to know from newspapers that a man having Moid’s physical resemblance,was found dead in front of a shop at Kelakam near here last week.

After ‘identifying’ the body ,they brought it home with the consent of the police and buried it in a local graveyard a week ago.

But to their shock,Moidu walked into the village yesterday.

On returning home,Moidu said he had been wandering in various places after his small business in Mysore crashed.

Shocked by what he heard when he stepped into the village,Moidu alleged that the whole issue involved “some hanky-panky” as he had seen the photo of the ‘deadman’ in newspapers which bore “no resemblance” to him.
