In a major goof-up, a courier service reportedly swapped the bodies of two persons by mistake while sending them to family members of the deceased in two different states of Odisha and Rajasthan.
The kin of one of the deceased Bilash Bhuyan, who belonged to Kuanasala village under Nemalo police station in Cuttack, conducted the funeral of the body (of the Rajasthan man).
As per reports, Bilash, who was working in a private motor showroom in Mumbai, passed away all of a sudden following a brief illness a few weeks back. His final rites were carried out on Monday evening after a courier service sent his body. But to the utter dismay of his family, Nemala police informed them that the body they cremated was not of Bilash but that of someone from Rajasthan. The matter came to light after the family in Rajasthan found that the other body received through the courier service was not theirs and filed a complaint with police in Mumbai.
Bilash had passed away following a brief illness a few weeks back in Mumbai where was worked in a private motor showroom.
Police informed that the family from Rajasthan is on their way to collect the mortal remains and are also bringing Bilash’s body with them.
