AGENCY: In Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district, a man declared dead by doctors revived just as he was being placed on the funeral pyre, leaving those present in shock.
However, he passed away a few hours later.
The man, identified as Rohitash Kumar, was a deaf-mute and had no family, residing in a shelter home.
He was initially thought to have died while being transported from BDK Hospital in Jhunjhunu to Jaipur, about 180 km away, on Friday, according to officials.
