@mychangebook @Scholar_ @nytcooking @nytimes @BBCBreaking Now imagine later the two heirs visit bank and ask for claim. Then bank will get blame for wrongful claim.

@mychangebook @Scholar_ @nytcooking @nytimes @BBCBreaking Bak said to bring death certificate and legal heir certificate to safely handover money of a customer to rightful persons. And obviously you get to know that Jitu is not sole heir. It was a total of three persons. 1/2

Just imagine what the manager must be going through. What did he do? He only asked for a death certificate. Has following the law become a crime now? #Banking #Odisha #JituMunda

@RituRathaur This is cruel and heart wrenching. This is not right time to say but I always believe that character of a man comes from within. This is where oppression concept dies. Anyone cane be oppressor. It’s not religion or caste. It’s within you.

💔💔❤️‍🩹 Meet the little daughter of a Brahmin pujari… ⬇️ An innocent 4 year old Brahmin child , happily visiting her grandmother for summer vacation in Nasrapur, Pune but faced brutal deaths at hands of 65 yr old Dalit (Mahar) Bhimrao Kamble Bhimrao lured her, dragged her into a cowshed, stuffed her mouth with cow dung so she cud not screen, brutally raped her, smashed her tiny head with a stone, cut her into pieces and then buried her body under cow dung like trash. This is not a random crime. This is a hate crime. It’s a brutal “hisab chukta” in Ambedkar loving Maharashtra under BJPee rule.

@mychangebook @Scholar_ There is clear proof all over the news that bank asked for death certificate and not dead body. What does bank get by denying his claim? Nothing. The money will be safe in customer account until claimant produces the necessary documents.

@raaz_ndk @Scholar_ x.com/i/status/20502… Bank has simply to guide the customer in the right direction..and not in the direction of digging up grave😑 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️ But Bank🏦knows jitu munda does not have enough money to get the documents..rs.19042 /- is not enough. So he acts vague & drives him crazy

@Naveen_Odisha @nsitharaman How come this illiterate was chief minister for all those years? Don’t know basic banking rules. Bank rules are to safeguard the money.

With deep anguish and urgency bring to the attention of Hon’ble Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs (@nsitharaman) ji about the shocking incident that took place on April 27th at the Malliposi branch of the Odisha Grameen Bank in Kendujhar District. A tribal citizen, Mr. Jitu Munda, was forced to exhume the skeletal remains of his sister and carry them to the bank as proof of her death in order to withdraw his rightful dues. This followed numerous unsuccessful visits to the bank where he received no assistance or clarity from officials. What is even more shocking is the bank’s attempt to justify this inhuman conduct by citing adherence to RBI guidelines. This reflects a disturbing intent by officials to hide behind procedures and abandon the very people they are meant to serve. In a democracy, rules are meant to empower citizens, not humiliate them. This horrifying incident has outraged public sentiment across #Odisha and has also drawn international media attention, including coverage by the New York Post and the BBC. Though isolated, this incident highlights the urgent need for a more humane banking administration, especially in remote tribal areas. Urge Nirmala Sitharaman ji to ensure clear accountability is fixed immediately for this shocking lapse. Also urge you to send a strong signal to all rural banks to guarantee citizen-centric service delivery with empathy and compassion. I am confident that with your compassionate intervention, such inhuman treatment of citizens will not be repeated anywhere else in the country.

@NorbertBanker See her confidence, how shamelessly posting delay in issuing DC as duty of bank

Bankers are easier to target than govt officials.

@mychangebook @Scholar_ Who will issue death certificate? Bank manager or village revenue officer? That is level of your youth thinking

@Scholar_ x.com/i/status/20502… You are also a good candidate👏🏿to become Cheap,sorry Chief of some Bank or the other money lender! "He only asked for a death certificate" 💀 which could not be 🤣 found in 3 months but was produced in <3hours. How did admin. identify/kyc a bag of bones?🤐

@amareshbiswal72 So why blaming the rules. Rules are there to hand over the money to rightful persons. Not anyone who came with a dead corpse

ଭିଡିଓଟି କିଏ କରିଛନ୍ତି ମୁଁ ଜାଣିନି, କିନ୍ତୁ ଏଥିରେ ପ୍ରମାଣିତ କରାଯାଇଛି ଯେ, ବ୍ଯାଙ୍କ କର୍ତ୍ତୃପକ୍ଷ, ଜିତୁ ମୁଣ୍ଡାଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଟଙ୍କା ପଇଠ କରିଦେଲେ, ଏବେ ଆଉ ବ୍ଯାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ତାଙ୍କର କୌଣସି ବାକିଆ ନାହିଁ। ଅଡିଓ ଶୁଣନ୍ତୁ, ପ୍ରଶ୍ନକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କର ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ଜାଣିପାରିବେ। ପାଠ ପଢ଼ି ନଥିବା ଜିତୁ ‘ଲିଗାଲ୍ ହେଆର୍’ର କ’ଣ ବୁଝିବେ?

@Peoplepower08 It’s not his money you illiterate. You can’t just hand over money in some deceased person’s accout. It should go to the registered nominee or legal heirs.

After he showed them his sister’s corpse from the grave, bank staff started taking photos and videos while handing him ₹19,000. What kind of sick message is this—dig up your dead just to get your own money?

@jyotsnamohan Yes all is well. Because there is no connection of the incident with any one else. The lack of education of tribals is decades old. We should question why the tribal man didn’t go to school in all these years of independent India.

Every international media has the story of the Odisha man carrying his sister’s skeleton. But all is well.

@sanket There is no corruption in this case. It’s just lack of education and awareness. Just like these illiterates giving lectures just for views

Bharat mein har mod par corruption! WATCH: youtu.be/PsI3tGs_-wA?si… #odisha #keonjhar #jeetumunda #odishanews #corruption

@mssakshinarula @NikhilHDE State government officials issued legal heirs certificate and then bank officials settled the claim to three members of the family. Please stop blaming bank rules. They are there to protect account holders money.

@NikhilHDE This man looks poor and uneducated, he should've been helped. If he took that step, he was clearly frustrated and some paper pushing was involved. How did they give him the money now after this went viral if he was not a nominee or carrying a death certificate?

International media is covering this. Things are as bad as they seem. We are a broken nation, mired in corruption, false pride and aggressive nationalism. You can solve problems when you can acknowledge them. But everything is great according to the administration.

@san_x_m Stupid analysis of a stupid persons’s stupid action. No brains

His name is Jitu Munda. He is 59 years old. He lives in Dianali village in Keonjhar district, Odisha. Illiterate. Tribal. His elder sister Kalara, was 62. Her husband was gone. Her only child was gone. Jitu was the only person left in the world who belonged to her. On January 26, 2026, Kalara died of a stomach ailment. She left behind one thing. A savings account at the Malliposi branch of Odisha Grameen Bank. Balance Rs 19300. Jitu walked to the bank and asked for it. They said no. He needed a death certificate. Legal heir documents. Paperwork from offices he had never visited in a language he could not read. He told them his sister was dead. They told him to bring the account holder. He went back multiple times over three months. Same answer every time. Not once did anyone offer to help him understand what he needed or where to get it. On April 27, 2026, Jitu went to the graveyard. He dug up his sister's grave. Carried her skeletal remains to the Malliposi branch of Odisha Grameen Bank. Placed her bones outside the entrance. You wanted the account holder. He brought her. The bank called the police. The video went viral within hours. Then the system moved faster than it had in three months. The Chief Minister expressed sorrow and ordered a probe. The Revenue Minister called it a lack of a humanitarian approach. The Tahsildar personally visited Dianali and handed Jitu Rs 19402, including interest. The District Red Cross Fund added Rs 30000. A BJD delegation of five leaders, including two MLAs, drove to Dianali to meet Jitu and question the police role. They sat with him. Expressed concern. Called for accountability. Every politician and everyone who visited Dianali after the video went viral was absent for the three months Jitu walked to that bank alone. The bank issued a statement saying there was no harassment. Jitu arrived drunk and disruptive. That they were only following procedure to protect the funds of a poor tribal woman. The government called it a lack of banking awareness. They blamed the man who could not read for not understanding a system that was never explained to him. Kalara's bones were reburied under police supervision. India has 540 million Jan Dhan accounts. A Direct Benefit Transfer system. A financial inclusion mission that has won international awards. What it did not have was one person in that branch willing to spend ten minutes with a grieving brother. The money took three months of humiliation to deny. It took one day to release once the cameras were watching. Rs 19300. That is what her life savings were worth. That is what it cost him to bury his sister twice.

@yadavakhilesh How could people vote for this person? Such an ignorant and illiterate post. One stupid person’s action brought out so many stupid leaders out.

@IYC Indian youth congress please go to school. Don’t teach nonsense to Indian youth.

राजा खेल में व्यस्त, प्रजा सच साबित करने को भटक रही है।

@BhimArmyChief Waah waah. What a knowledge! I pity india have these so called leaders who wait to attack government and system blindly

ओडिशा के क्योंझर जिले में जीतू मुंडा अपनी तीन महीने पहले (26 जनवरी 2026 को) मृत हुई बहन के कंकाल को कब्र से निकालकर ले जा रहे हैं। जिस बहन का पति और इकलौती संतान पहले ही दुनिया छोड़ चुके थे और अब पूरे परिवार में सिर्फ वही अकेले जीवित बचे हैं। अपनी बहन के बैंक खाते में जमा 19,300 रुपये निकालने के लिए मृत्यु प्रमाण पत्र और उत्तराधिकार (वारिस) प्रमाण पत्र नहीं दिखा पाने के कारण बैंक कर्मचारियों ने ‘नियमों’ का हवाला देते हुए उन्हें कई बार खाली हाथ लौटा दिया। परेशान होकर वे सीधे श्मशान घाट पहुंचे। अपनी बहन की कब्र खोदी और उनका कंकाल बाहर निकाला। कंकाल को एक कपड़े में लपेटकर, अपने कंधे पर लादे, 5 किमी नंगे पांव चलते हुए वे सीधे बैंक के भीतर जा पहुंचे। भ्रष्टाचार का आलम यह है कि बिना चढ़ावे के ये प्रमाण पत्र इतने कम समय में बन पाना किसी के लिए संभव नहीं है। और फिर एक तो वे गरीब, ऊपर से आदिवासी-ऐसे में इन कागजों को तुरंत जुटा पाना उनके लिए असंभव था। वहीं, इसी बैंकिंग व्यवस्था में उद्योगपतियों के वो 11 लाख करोड़ रुपये के कर्जे चुपचाप माफ़ भी हो जाते हैं, जिससे वे अरबों-खरबों रुपये का साम्राज्य खड़ा कर लेते हैं। ओडिशा की यह घटना व्यवस्था की संवेदनहीनता और असमानता की भयावह सच्चाई को उजागर करती है।

@TribalArmy Yes, just as you think only Modi have hands. You should educate yourself

देश गलत हाथों में है !

@HansrajMeena Please make sure to step in to a bank and know the rules. You can’t just claim money in sister’s account. Dead body can’t decide who the actual heir is.

गरीब था, आदिवासी था इसलिए अपनी मृत बहन के कंकाल को बैंक लेकर जाना पड़ा, ताकि वह खुद को उसका वारिस बताते हुए उसके खाते से पैसे निकाल सके। वरना विजय माल्या, नीरव मोदी, ललित मोदी ने कभी बैंक का मुंह नहीं देखा और हजारों करोड़ रुपए लेकर देश से फरार हो गए क्योंकि मोदी जी उनके दोस्त थे।

@DrKirodilalBJP @MohanMOdisha Please educate yourself doctor ji. India don’t want illiterate doctors like you

जीतू मुंडा की बेबसी और पीड़ा देखकर कलेजा कांप उठा। एक गरीब आदिवासी के साथ कागजी खानापूर्ति के नाम इस तरह की प्रताड़ना किसी भी सभ्य समाज के माथे पर कलंक है। मेरा ओडिशा के मुख्यमंत्री श्री @MohanMOdisha जी से पुरजोर आग्रह है कि इस मामले में तत्काल और कठोरतम कार्रवाई की जाए। 1/2
