By Julian RobinsonAn Indian woman was burnt to death in a funeral pyre - hours after doctors had pronounced her dead, it has been claimed. Her husband Devesh Chaudhary, 23, took possession of her body at 1.27am and drove with it and some friends to a funeral pyre location in Aligarh, two hours away, where at 8am they began to cremate her. But there are reports that somebody then dragged the woman off the funeral pyre, believing her to be still alive. If a person is dead, such particles cannot reach the lungs and the windpipe. So, the doctors concluded that the woman was burnt alive on the pyre."
