A man, hailing from Telangana allegedly stuffed his grandfather’s body in a fridge after the latter died due to illness as he couldn’t afford a funeral.

Balaiah, 93, was staying with his grandson Nikhil in a rented accommodation in the Parkal town of Warangal district in Telangana.

Due to ill health, Balaiah died four days ago. Nikhil did not have enough money to hold his grandfather’s funeral and as a result, stuffed the body in the fridge.

The incident came to light as the neighbors noticed a foul smell coming from the house and later informed the police.

The police reached the spot and recovered the grandfather’s body from a fridge in the house.

The police informed that Nikhil was suffering from mental health issues and was in depression after he lost his parents in an accident.

The police further registered a case for suspicious death and detained Nikhil
