A bizarre video of a 50-year-oldIndian manin Odisha has taken the internet by storm this week as he is seen carrying the skeletal remains of his sister wrapped in a shawl, down the street in broad daylight.

The man who was identified, Jeetu Munda, is making his way down to the bank after digging his sister's corpse, Kala Munda, who died in January, after they refused him service to withdraw money from her account. Munda said he was instructed to 'bring the account holder,' which is something he took literally out of frustration to be able to withdraw ₹20,000 (£157 or $211) from the bank.

In a viral video, a shirtless and shoeless Munda carried his dead sister in broad daylight to the Odisha Grameen Bank's Mallipasi branch in Keonjhar on Monday, 27 April, after the bank insisted that the 50-year-old tribal man bring evidence that his sister had passed away.

The video, which was posted on X by Woke Eminent (@WokePandemic), has amassed 12.8 million views as of writing.

As reported by theHindustan Times, Munda told the police that he resorted to this move after the bank tellers told him to bring the account holder with him. Munda said that he already told the bank what happened to his sister.

'I have run several times to the bank, and the people there told me to bring the account holder to withdraw money deposited in her name. Though I told them that she had died, they did not listen to me and insisted on bringing her to the bank. Therefore, out of frustration, I dug the grave and brought out her skeleton as proof of her death,' Munda said.

Meanwhile, in the report ofThe Times of India, Munda said that he did not understand the formal procedure. According to the report, he was asked to present documentary proof of her death.

'I was asked to prove whether my sister was alive or dead. Since I had no papers, I brought her remains to show that she was dead.'

InThe Post'sreport, Odisha Grameen Bank chairman Rishi Singh described the incident as 'deeply unfortunate,' but insisted the teller had followed the correct procedure.
