Bhadohi, Jan 23 (UNI) A man, who buried himself in a grave, had to be forcibly taken out by local people after 12 hours, in Bhadohi district of Uttar Pradesh.

According to sources, Mohd Idrees, a native of Bareilly, had buried himself alive at a graveyard under 'Shahar' Kotwali police station area yesterday, as he wanted to have an experience of ''death.'' The news spread like wild fire and a large number of people gathered near the spot and finally took Idris out alive of the grave.

''...I did not intend to creat any record. The only thing I had in my mind was to have an experience of death while being alive.

One day, I will attempt it again,'' Idris said.

''I don't know why people fear death. It is inevitable. By my act, I have shown that one can even conquer death if he has passion in his heart,'' he added.
