Barabanki: In a shocking incident, a 65-year-old woman has been found living with the body of her 17-year-old grandson in her house for the past 10 days in Mohripurva area of Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki district.

The incident came to light when the woman’s neighbours complained about a foul odour emanating from her residence.

Circle officer Binu Singh said that on reaching the house, authorities found Mithilesh seated next to the partially decomposed body of her grandson, Priyanshu, Singh.

“The body has been sent for post-mortem examination while Mithilesh has been directed to undergo a mental health evaluation,” he said.

The cause of Priyanshu’s death will be clear only after the post-mortem, she added.

The woman’s neighbours said they had been getting the foul smell from Mithilesh’s house for the past 3-4 days and complained to the police after finding it unbearable, the police said.
