Mumbai: The body of Rajnikant Dalal which was lying in a Saudi morgue for about 45 days arrived in Mumbai on Friday and has been handed over to his family. The body was kept outside the cargo complex of the Mumbai international airport for 6 hours as paper work had to completed.
Dalal died in Saudi on April 26 but his body was not being handed over to his family in India. Despite his employment contract stating that his sponsor will bear expenses during the event of his death, the family had to arrange for Rs 2.2 lakh and send it to the sponsor. After several calls, last week, the Indian Embassy informed the family that they have sent the body.
"They said body has been sent by Gulf and asked us to go to airport. We arranged for all the materials required for final rites and called our relatives. When we went there, they told us no booking for dead body was made," Rekha had claimed.
The family had lost all the hope as the Indian Embassy had asked them to do the paperwork again. Dalal, an auto electrician, died on April 26 in Saudi after a heart attack.
CNN-IBN had reported on the plight of his family who had been running from pillar to post for over 40 days to get his body back to India.
