Time warp: Evidence for man drowning in a well

     Meanwhile, Mrs. Khan was pacing nervously back and forth on her verandah at home when suddenly Sai Baba appeared as an apparition in front of her. He had a riding crop in one hand and a smelly fish in the other. He was holding the fish as far away as possible with His head turned in the other direction and was making an awful face as if completely disgusted. He then threw both riding crop and fish away and motioned her to touch His feet. She fell at His feet, understanding that He was taking care of the problem. Then He disappeared as mysteriously as He had come. Baba’s visitation assured her that her husband was found innocent so she sent their driver to pick him up.

     Back at the cemetery, Dr. Khan’s driver happened to show up just as the case was dismissed, much to his relief. The doctor hopped into the car and headed for home. As he was being driven back to his residence in the middle of a scorching hot summer day, Dr. Khan had some time to reflect on what had just happened and something in it simply didn’t add up. ‘How could that body be perfectly intact? And the pine box as well?’ He racked his brain for any possible scientific explanation, but to no avail.

     Incredulous, he had his driver turn the vehicle around and go back to the grave site. Just as they reached, the grave diggers were putting the last few shovels full of dirt back on the grave. Dr. Khan requested them to dig it up again. They put in their shovels, only to find bits and pieces of a totally disintegrated box and the remains of a stinky decomposing mass. He quickly saw enough, though he was even more mystified than ever.
