GORAKHPUR: In a shocking incident, a 45-year-old man hid his mother's body under a bed in his home at Shivpur-Shahbazganj for 5 days.

The neighbors told the police when they experienced a foul stench emanating from the house.  After searching the house, police sent the body for post-mortem.

The deceased Shanti Devi was a retired teacher who died at the age of 82. Nikhil Mishra Dabbu was her only son.
Neighbors said, Nikhil was a drunbker and would often argue with his mother for money. On being asked about the reason behind hiding the body, Nikhil told police that he had no money for her funeral.

Sources said Nikhil's wife and his son also lived with him in the house but two weeks ago, his wife took their son and went to her father's house as she was fed up with her husband's behavior.

Some portions of the house had been rented out but the tenants also left a month ago because of Nikhil's bad behavior.

Supdt. of Police  North, Manoj Kumar Awasthi said that it appeared that Nikhil is mentally disturbed and an alcoholic. "We are waiting for the post-mortem report before we begin further investigations."
