In a bizarre incident, a 40-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh&rsquo;s Moradabad town was declared dead by doctors and kept in a mortuary freezer for almost seven hours before he was taken out alive.</p>
<p>
According to reports, Srikesh Kumar, an electrician, was hit by a speeding motorbike following which he was taken to the district hospital on Thursday night. The doctors had declared him dead.</p>
<p>
The following day, the hospital staff put the body in the freezer.</p>
<p>
Nearly seven hours later, when a &#39;panchnama&#39; or document, signed by family members after identifying the body and agreeing to an autopsy – was to be filed by the police, Kumar&#39;s sister-in-law Madhu Bala noticed that he was showing signs of movement.</p>
<p>
In a video that went viral, Bala can be heard saying: &quot;He&#39;s not at all dead. How did this happen? Look, he wants to say something, he is breathing.&quot;</p>
<p>
Moradabad&#39;s chief medical superintendent Dr Shiv Singh, said: &quot;The emergency medical officer had seen the patient at 3 a.m and there was no heartbeat. He had examined the man multiple times. Thereafter, he was declared dead but, in the morning, a police team and his family found him alive. A probe has been ordered. Our priority is now to save his life.&quot;</p>
<p>
Singh said it was one of those &quot;rarest of rare cases… We can&#39;t call it negligence&quot;.</p>
<p>
Kumar is now undergoing treatment at a health centre in Meerut where his condition has improved.</p>
<p>
According to his sister-in-law, &quot;he is yet to regain consciousness&quot;.</p>
<p>
&quot;We will lodge a complaint against the doctors for negligence as they almost killed Srikesh by putting him in a freezer,&quot; she added.</p>
