Man arrested for keeping daughter's body at home for four months after death in Meerut
Meerut (UP) (PTI): A 72-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly keeping the body of his daughter inside their house for nearly four months after her death, officials said on Thursday.
A resident of Teli Mohalla in the Sadar Bazar police station area, Udaybhanu Biswas did not perform the last rites of his 35-year-old daughter Priyanka after her death and kept the body in a locked room of the house.
The matter came to light in April after local residents alerted police about a strong foul smell emanating from the house, they said, adding that he was formally arrested on Wednesday.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Priyanka had died due to illness on December 1, 2025. Biswas stayed in the house with the body for several days and allegedly used perfume to suppress the foul smell.
Police recovered the decomposed body from the house on April 10. The body had largely turned into a skeleton by the time it was found, sources said.
The body was sent for post-mortem examination after completion of legal formalities, they added.
According to police, Biswas is originally from West Bengal and is a retired administrative officer from the education department.
Police said he has undergone psychiatric evaluation at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Medical College and was formally arrested on Wednesday.
