Lucknow woman resurfaces 27 months after being presumed dead
A 28-year-old woman named Shivani has resurfaced in Lucknow, India, 27 months after being presumed dead. Shivani had gone missing in May 2024, after which police discovered a decomposed body in a local sewer.
Her family identified the deceased as Shivani using personal belongings, including a ring and a bracelet, leading to the body's cremation. However, Shivani has now returned to her parents' home, prompting police to reopen the investigation. DNA tests conducted following the initial identification indicated that the deceased's DNA did not match Shivani's family.
During police questioning, Shivani stated she had been living with a man named Javed, who manages a public toilet facility, for the past two years. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and the identity of the deceased individual.
