They go to the bank with a corpse to ask for their money and to pay for his funeral | The State

A somewhat surreal scene took place a few days ago inside a bank in Bihar, India, where a group of people showed up at the branch, nothing more and nothing less than a corpse.

According to local media, the deceased’s name was Mahesh Yadav, he was 55 years old and lost his life after a long agony. The man had no family or relatives who could take care of him and the paperwork that led to his death.

One of his neighbors would have entered his house to look for some papers to prepare his funeral and that is how he found a notebook where Mahesh had in detail that he had a small savings in the bank of approximately $ 1,500 dollars.

The neighbor reportedly went to the bank to ask for the money but the bank employee refused to give it to him because he did not have proof of the death of the account holder.

Due to the situation, other people living in the Yadav neighborhood helped this neighbor carry the body to the bank branch to release the money.

Despite the grim scene, the bank manager only gave them about $ 136, considering it was enough to pay for funeral expenses.

Neighbors said they were satisfied with the money, pointing out that the only thing they were looking for was a place for the deceased man.
