Nearly seven hours later, when a ‘panchnama’ or document, signed by family members after identifying the body and agreeing to an autopsy – was to be filed by the police, Kumar’s sister-in-law Madhu Bala noticed that he was showing signs of movement.In a video that went viral, Bala can be heard saying: “He’s not at all dead. How did this happen? Look, he wants to say something, he is breathing.”Moradabad’s chief medical superintendent Dr Shiv Singh, said: “The emergency medical officer had seen the patient at 3 a.m and there was no heartbeat. He had examined the man multiple times. Thereafter, he was declared dead but, in the morning, a police team and his family found him alive. A probe has been ordered. Our priority is now to save his life.”Singh said it was one of those “rarest of rare cases… We can’t call it negligence”.
