In a shocking and deeply bizarre incident that has stunned India and gone viral worldwide, a man reportedly dug up his deceased sister’s body and carried it to a bank in a desperate attempt to access her money.
The unusual episode took place in Odisha, where the man, identified in reports as Jitu Munda, was trying to withdraw a small amount of cash left in his late sister’s bank account—around ₹19,000 (about $200–$300).
However, trouble began when the bank demanded official documentation, including a death certificate, before releasing the funds. According to reports, the man did not have the required papers and became frustrated by the process.
In a shocking turn that has left many speechless, he allegedly exhumed his sister’s remains and brought them to the bank, apparently believing this would serve as proof of death.
The incident quickly sparked outrage and disbelief, with locals and officials calling it disturbing and tragic. Authorities later stepped in, guiding the man through the proper legal process to obtain the documents needed to access the money.
While the funds were eventually released through official channels, the case has ignited debate online about bureaucracy, rural awareness, and the extreme lengths poverty and confusion can push people into.
What began as a routine bank withdrawal ended as one of the most shocking and bizarre stories to emerge this year.
