Bangladeshi woman's dead body to be finally repatriated

The body of a Bangladeshi national Konika Rani Sarkar (43) will finally be repatriated after being stuck in India for the last four days due to address problem in her death certificate issued by the Malda Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal. It is reported that Ms. Konika and her son Tokon came to India on December 26 last year through Hilly immigration check post under South Dinajpur district of the state as the former needed to take treatment at Vellore in Tamil Nadu.<br/><br/> The doctors advised Ms. Konika for an immediate heart operation but due to money crunch Tokon had to leave her mother at their relative's place in South Dinajpur and go back to Bangladesh to arrange the money. During this time, his mothers condition became critical and she was admitted to the Malda Medical College where she died. Following the death, the hospital authorities issued a death certificate with a local address which the relative's had mentioned in the hospital forms. <br/><br/>As the death certificate had a local address, Hilly Customs department denied Tokon the permission to take back his mother's dead body to Bangladesh. Later, Tokon met with the district administration for help and he finally secured all arrangements and documents to take the body.
