Surat: A man who was believed dead, emerged alive and presented himself in the Navsari court. Two accused were nabbed by the police 5 years ago and imprisoned for his “murder”.

Two persons were alleged of a murder of a migrant labourer named Nagulal Karsing Gayri 5 years ago. The dead body found from the Vesma village was identified as the dead body of Nagulal Gayri, based from Madhya Pradesh and working at Mejiket company at Sisodra village.

Two accused migrant laborers Madan Sukhla Pipladi (age 20) and Suresh alias Nachan Jiyani Batela (age 21), were booked for Nagulal’s murder and nabbed by the police 5 years ago. The cremation of the dead body was performed after it was handed over to the family of Nagulal Gayri. The then Police Inspector of Navsari rural police Pradipsinh Gohil who was an investigator of the case, had even filed a charge sheet in the court.

Meanwhile, Nagulal, who lived at his relative’s home through all these years, returned to his home after learning about his funeral. He then presented himself to the Navsari rural police station along with his family and documents. As the police did not take him seriously, Nagulal produced himself in Navsari rural court along with required documents.

The judge ordered the release of both the accused after declaring them innocent. The judge ordered the investigation officer to pay Rs 50 thousand redemption to each person within a month for keeping them in custody for 5 years in the case of murder despite being innocent. DeshGujarat
