A day after a tribal man in Odisha’s Keonjhar district carried his deceased sister’s skeletal remains to a bank as proof of death in order to withdraw money from her account, the administration moved with unusual alacrity on Tuesday (April 28, 2026), completing all formalities and disbursing the payment within a single day.

Disturbing visuals of a tribal man, Jitu Munda of Diananali village under Patna block in Keonjhar district, walking through the streets with the skeletal remains slung over his shoulder had gone viral, triggering widespread outrage.
