A day after a tribal man in Orissa’s Keonjhar district took his deceased sister’s skeletal remains to a bank as proof of death to withdraw money from her account, the administration on Tuesday (April 28, 2026) moved with unusual promptness, completing all the formalities and disbursing the payment in a single day.
A disturbing image of a tribal man, Jitu Munda of Diananali village under Patna block in Keonjhar district, walking through the streets with skeletal remains slung over his shoulder has gone viral and sparked widespread outrage.
