Chandauli (UP): The Saudi Arabian government has handed over the wrong body to the family of a man from Sikanderpur in the Chakia area of Uttar Pradesh, who died in the Kingdom late last month. Javed Ahmad, a resident of Chandauli, who was working in the Dammam region of Saudi Arabia, died there on September 25 after a brief illness at the hospital.
His brother later appealed to the government for their cooperation in returning the mortal remains. DDU Nagar CO Anirudh Singh also took up the matter with the authorities. Taking cognizance of this, the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia and the Ministry of External Affairs made efforts to bring the body home. However on September 30 when Javed's body was supposed to reach the Babatpur airport in Varanasi airport, the family was shocked that the Saudi authorities had sent the wrong body.
