A family who believed their daughter was dead cremated a body before their daughter arrived home safe four days later, a report by Dailymail has revealed.
A young woman of 26 years simply identified as Naina who went missing from her house on Saturday December 8 in Patiala, Punjab, India. She was reported to have left with a man who also could not be found.
Days after her disappearance, a mutilated body of a woman in her 20s was found in the same city just days after her disappearance.

The Times of India reported that Police suspected Naina had been killed by the man she had eloped with.
The body of a woman was found by a local farmer inside a ‘gunny bag’ sack in a field. An autopsy confirmed the woman had been strangled to death.
Naina’s family then claimed it was her body, and cremated the body the next day.
However, their daughter returned home safe four days after the cremation, along with the man she had left with.
Local police said they took fingerprints and DNA from the body. They are re-starting the process to identify the dead body.
