A family in Punjab was told their son, who vanished on August 5 and was presumed dead, is alive after a phone call received fifteen days post‑cremation.
Ravi Kumar left his home in Punjab on August 5 and did not return, prompting his father and brother to launch an independent search that yielded no clues. The family, convinced he was missing, eventually proceeded with a cremation after concluding he had died.
Fifteen days after the cremation, the relatives received a phone call stating that Ravi Kumar was, in fact, alive. The caller provided no verifiable details, but the claim has reignited hope and confusion within the family.
Local police have been notified of the call and are treating the matter as a missing‑person case pending verification. Investigators are reviewing the call record and will seek to locate Ravi Kumar or confirm the authenticity of the information received.
