Odisha Acts Fast After Tribal Man Carries Sister’s Remains to Bank
Police and district officials began a probe after Jitu Munda brought his sister’s skeletal remains to a bank to claim about Rs 20,000.
- On Monday, 59-year-old Jitu Munda of Dianali village brought his deceased sister Kalra Munda's skeletal remains to the Mallipasi branch of Odisha Grameen Bank, demanding release of Rs 20,000 from her account.
- Bank officials had repeatedly denied Munda's withdrawal requests for two months, insisting the account holder appear in person because she had not nominated a legal heir.
- Inspector-in-Charge of Patna police station Kiran Prasad Sahu said Munda did not understand legal procedures regarding heir certificates; Kalra had lost her husband and only child, leaving Munda as her sole surviving relative.
- Police immediately arrived at the branch, pacified Munda, and took the skeletal remains for reburial, while authorities directed him to the tehsil office to obtain the necessary legal heir certificate.
- Patna block development officer Manas Dandapat confirmed the local administration ordered Odisha Grameen Bank to release the money to Munda as soon as possible, while the district administration sought a report on the incident.
