KASARAGOD: Dead body found of a person who was dead 13 years before without much damage or signs of decomposition. This also served as a lucky chance for the person’s second son, who couldn’t see his father’s dead body as he was working abroad at the time. This is the body of Amu, who was 80 at the time of death.

Amu passed away on April 27, 2006. Grave was dug again to build pillars as part of mosque’s reconstruction. Amu’s first son Ansar reached the spot after receiving news and confirmed that it’s the body of his father.

Reconstruction works have been stopped after the body was found without damage. The body was reinstated back into the grave later. Kasaragod special branch DySP P. Balakrishnan Nair also confirmed the surprising state of the body.

Aasi Umma is the wife of Amu. Sons- Ansari, Azeez, Ashraf. Daughters- Beevi, Sainaba, Khadeeja.
