In a bizarre incident, a man from Goa, who was declared “dead” and funeral conducted by relatives, returned home, reported PTI.
The 59-year-old man, identified as Marcos Milagres, a resident of Agassaim village near the Goa capital Panaji, had gone missing last year. The family had filed a missing person’s complaint with the police in October.
However, more than two months later, the Goa police received a call from their Mumbai counterparts informing them about a man claiming to be Milagres and a resident of Agassaim. The cop said that he was brought to the Agassaim police station, where his family identified him.
According to the police officer, he had left for Mumbai without any informing his family members.
However, it was not yet known whose body was handed over to Milagres’s family.
