India is a land of fascinating stories – one stranger than the other. Two brothers decided to cut their father’s body into two because they could agree upon the ‘perfect’ cremation. A man was ‘shot dead by his companions in the forests of Palghar in Maharashtra after they mistook him for ‘prey’. And a tea seller-burglar in Maharashtra gifted his girlfriend a Rs 3-crore house

Two brothers who want to cremate their father in two different ways, but only one body? Their solution: Cut the body into two. That nearly happened when two brothers clashed over how to conduct the funeral of their father in a small village of Madhya Pradesh.

The dispute shocked people in Tal Lidhora village, Tikamgarh district when they learned that the brothers almost decided to cut their father’s body into two and initiate separate cremations.
