Man Exhumes Sister's Remains To Claim Bank Savings
A man from a tribal community in Odisha, India, brought his deceased sister's remains to a bank branch to facilitate a withdrawal. The man stated he attempted to access the account multiple times but was told the account holder must be present. He reportedly exhumed the body to present the skeleton to bank staff as proof of death after officials refused to accept a death certificate. Local police were called to the branch when the man arrived with the remains. Following discussions with authorities, the man, identified as Munda, reportedly reburied the remains. Officials have since issued the death certificate and released approximately $200 to the family members. The bank had previously refused to release the funds because the man lacked a death certificate and a certificate of inheritance.
