JAIPUR: A 95-year-old man in Khetri tehsil in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district came back to life hours after his death leaving his aggrieved family members in a state of pleasant shock.

According to reports, 95-year-old Budh Ram Gujjar, a resident of Bakhtanwalan Ki Dhani, had fainted on Saturday afternoon. His family members then rushed the old man to a private doctor who declared him dead. 

Budh Ram's family then informed their relatives about the old man's death and even called a priest to perform his last rites as per the tradition. 

After arriving at the deceased man's house, the priest started the rituals and a barber was also called to shave the heads of the male members of the family.

It was when the priest poured water on the old man's body for a customary bath, his body began to shiver, leaving everyone in a state of shock.

On seeing this, the old man was shifted to a bed where he started breathing and got up.

He later told his family member that he had a severe chest pain and had slept for a while.

The 'dead' old man coming back to life is nothing short of a miracle for his family members who will now celebrate Diwali with greater enthusiasm and happiness.
