“Now, he has returned home but he has not revealed anything about where he stayed during this period,” the cousin said.
Kanwan police station in-charge Ram Singh Rathore said according to the family members, Kamlesh Patidar suffered from the coronavirus infection in 2021 and was admitted to a hospital in Vadodara (Gujarat).
The doctors declared him dead due to COVID-19 infection, following which the family members performed last rites of the body given by the hospital in Vadodara and then returned to their village, he said.
The family members came to know that he was alive when he returned home on Saturday, Rathore said.
The matter will be clear after recording statement of Kamlesh Patidar, the official said.

He said that there is no need to panic as the situation is being monitored closely and appropriate steps will be taken in time as the administration has been very successful in managing the previous waves of Covid-19.
Despite the low hospitalization rate, everything has been put on alert and facilities are being enhanced so as to tackle any situation, he said.
While replying to a query, he said that there are proper norms under Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) to decide at what kind of facility should be and population is the main basis to decide whether there is need for a sub center, CHC Or any other health Institute.
