THE CROWD PULLER -3-IDENTIFICATION WANTED-STORY

Three days after the following Notice appeared in the local News paper. “IDENTIFICATION WANTED. General Public is hereby informed that a man, who was seen performing jugglery at several places in the town for the last one year was found hanging from a tree in the Town Hall Park. Post mortem report has confirmed death by strangulation and no foul play is suspected. So far no body has come forward to claim his body. He is about 35 years of age, medium built, wheatish color, about 5’ 7” height. His photo is given below. Anybody known to him may contact the town police station within 3 days. If no claimant comes forward within the stipulated time, the body will be donated to local medical hospital.” Normalcy has already returned in the town. Media has more spicy subjects to cover. Some journalists tried to follow the rumor of someone looking the juggler performing in nearby town but could not establish the truth. There were people swearing by their Gods or mother but that was all. They too were of no help. This only showed how unconcerned our journalists are. They need someone to take them to the subject and then only they can click their cameras, activate their mikes and open their mouths like untrained parrots. Some families who had earlier said the face resembled the face of their long lost son did come to the police station but returned without saying anything. Had the dead man left some fortunes behind there would not have been any dearth of claimants but who cares for a man so shabbily dressed lying in a police morgue with a decomposed body? The three days notice passed and if anything happened it was that the body became 6 days older and still dead. Police was left with no option but to notify that the body of the juggler has been donated to the town hospital. It was expected that the doms there will help the student doctors learning anatomy.
