In an astonishing case of mistaken identity, a man presumed dead reappeared at his own funeral in Telangana's Vikarabad district. Family and relatives of P Yellappa, a 40-year-old daily wage laborer, were preparing for his burial when the man walked in, alive and well.

The confusion began when Government Railway Police (GRP) found a body on the tracks at Vikarabad railway station on June 22. The victim's head was severely crushed, making identification difficult. However, a mobile phone found near the body led police to contact Yellappa's family, who identified the body as his.

While funeral arrangements were underway, villagers informed the family that Yellappa was seen in nearby Tandur town. Shortly afterward, Yellappa returned home, shocking everyone. Authorities retrieved the misidentified body and continue to investigate the true identity of the deceased, who was likely killed by a train.
