Sailor's body on way home a month after his death

Dubai: The body of an Indian sailor, who died on board his ship off the coast of Dubai, reached Mumbai on Tuesday after his remains were finally traced in a Tehran hospital.
The sailor's brother told Gulf News that he heard the news from an Indian TV channel, but that no official had contacted him.
"We had asked that the body be delivered to our hometown near Varanasi [in Uttar Pradesh state]," said Sivanand Tiwari. He said there are two flights from New Delhi today and hoped his brother's remains would be sent home on one of them.
His brother, Subodh, had died on board the ship M.V. Bahadur nearly a month ago, but his company had shipped an African's woman's body instead to his family.
