Covid in 2021, Kanwan police station in-charge Ram Singh Rathore said citing a family members' statement. However, despite receiving medical attention, Patidar passed away and was declared dead by the attending doctors.
His family members received the body from the hospital and performed the last rites. However, on 15th April 2023, the family members were completely in a state of shock after Patidar knocked on the door at 6 am.
Patidar's cousin Mukesh said, "Now, he has returned home but he has not revealed anything about where he stayed during this period".
Now the police have launched a probe into the matter and will be recording statements of Kamlesh Patidar. A similar incident happened in West Bengal in 2020 where a man from West Bengal was declared dead due to Covid and his family members performed his last rites.
