No death certificate without body: Gujarat police

Authorities are not ready to award the compensation without a death certificate.

Police say without a body no certificate can be issued.

Nasiruddin Shakla, 75, whose son has been missing for over two months now, is unable to get compensation in the absence of a death certificate. This despite the fact that Irfan's name has been included in the list of 109 missing people.

Irfan was reportedly dragged out from a truck at Dherol village in Panchmahal district and hacked to death. The police have refused to issue a death certificate to Nasiruddin and have been telling him that his son will return.

The families have demanded amendments in the norms to facilitate early disposal of their applications.

The district authorities are planning to approach the state government on the issue, official sources said.
