A shocking and unusual incident took place in Khurai, Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, leaving both police and locals astonished. Officers from the Dehat police station received a report about a body lying face down in mud near the road connecting Dhanora and Bankhiria villages. Assuming the person was dead, the police team arrived with a hearse to lift the body. However, to everyone’s surprise, the “deceased” suddenly stood up and said, “I am alive.” Witnesses, including police personnel, were stunned, struggling to comprehend the bizarre turn of events that transformed what seemed like a routine operation into an extraordinary incident.

The individual was later identified as Bharat Kori, the sarpanch of Badholi Panchayat, who had fallen into the mud while heavily intoxicated. According to police, Kori had dismounted from his two-wheeler and slipped near the roadside while relieving himself. His inebriated state prevented him from getting up on his own. Inspector Hukam Singh highlighted that thanks to timely information from locals, the police arrived promptly, preventing a potentially fatal outcome as lying face down in mud for hours could have caused suffocation or other serious complications.

Police described it as a fortunate event, stressing the importance of public vigilance and timely reporting, which helped avert a possible tragedy. The bizarre nature of the episode has sparked widespread interest and chatter throughout the region.
