On the other hand, the police found a dead body of an elderly woman near a railway track. The son then identified the woman as his mother and the body was handed over to him.

The body was buried in Guduvancherry. On Thursday, the family was performing a special pooja when the 27-year-old Chandra returned home to their pleasant shock.

It was realised then that it was a case of mistaken identity as Vadivelu wrongly identified the deceased as his mother owing to similarity in the color of the saree. The face of the woman was crushed which led to the confusion.

Meanwhile, the body, which was buried by the family, was exhumed and sent to the Chromepet GH to identify the deceased. The investigation is on.
