Many people in the past have been declared dead by mistake. There are many instances of people getting their documents cancelled after that. People have lost their nationality like this as well. Multiple documentaries and movies on these incidents keep us astonished. A case in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, surfaced where something similar took place. The university had cancelled the pension of the person who was considered dead.
Dr Brij Kishore Singh was considered dead by Ranchi University by mistake. However, he was only retired from his job and was still alive. Due to the mistake, his pension was cancelled. The profession worked in the physics department. He retired from the department 15 years ago.
He visited the bank every month to collect his pension. On the first day of the month, when he did not receive any message, it meant that he had not received the pension. This forced him to contact the bank. Dr. Brij Kishore Singh made a complaint regarding e-pension. When he informed the bank about what had happened, the bank also informed him that they did not receive the pension either. The money did not arrive at the bank, either. The money did not get credited to his account. Then he reached out to Ranchi VV headquarters and filed a complaint. The employees of the department received the complaint and apologized to him.
The Department of Pension had made a mistake in the details, and according to the data, he was considered dead. Dr. Brij Kishore Singh forced the employees of the department to make corrections.
Finally, they informed Dr Brij Kishore Singh that his pension would be sent to his existing bank account with the pension next month.
Such incidents are not rare when, due to mistakes made in documents, someone is announced dead in India. People have been informed about such incidents previously. Many corrections have been made by government officials. Some of these examples were seen during the elections too.
