New Delhi — An Indian man dug up his sister's body and carried it to a bank branch to prove she was dead after being refused access to her account without a death certificate, the lender says.
Jitu Munda, from a constitutionally recognized tribal community in the eastern state of Odisha, went to an Indian Overseas Bank branch on Monday to withdraw money from his deceased sister's account.
But bank staff told him "withdrawals by a third party are not permitted without proper authorization," the lender said Tuesday.
Angered by being turned away because he didn't have her death certificate, Munda returned to the branch carrying the "human remains" of his sister, who had been buried days earlier, the bank said.
