In a bizarre incident, a man demanded half of his father’s dead body following a dispute with his brother over the last rites in Madhya Pradesh’s Tikamgarh district, prompting the police to intervene, an official said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The ruckus occurred on Sunday at Lidhorataal village, around 45 km from the district headquarters, he said.<\/p>\n
Following a dispute between the brothers, villagers alerted the police, said Arvind Singh Dangi, the in-charge of Jatara police station.<\/p>\n
The official said Dhyani Singh Ghosh (84), who lived with his younger son Deshraj, died of a prolonged illness on Sunday, and his elder son Kishan, who lived outside the village, arrived there after being informed about the death.<\/p>\n
He said Kishan created a ruckus saying he would perform his father’s last rites, while the younger son claimed it was the deceased man’s wish that he carry out the cremation.<\/p>\n
The official said Kishan, who was inebriated, started insisting that the body be cut in half and divided between the brothers.<\/p>\n
He said the police reached the spot and managed to convince Kishan, who left the scene, and the younger son carried out the cremation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
