— Dog Master Vinod Sharma in Jaura (Morena)
— Pradyumn Dixit in Phoop (Bhind)

The homecoming of Dog Master Vinod Sharma’s body was an emotional moment, as his 12-year-old son broke down on seeing his father, and family members had to take him away. His wife also fainted in grief.
People began gathering outside Parimal Singh Tomar’s home in Ambah’s Nakhti village, while women inside mourned deeply.
