The family members of C.V. Sulfikar, 48, from Kapur near Thrithala, who died in Pakistan jail, have expressed their inability to receive his body at Chandigarh airport. However, the family said they would receive the body if it is brought to Kerala.
The government had told Sulfikar’s family that Pakistan would hand over the body to India only if they could identify him at the nation’s border in Punjab. But Sulfikar’s father Abdul Hameed said that he was too old to travel to Punjab to receive his son’s body. He is in his eighties.
