A viral video showing a man taking the thumbprint of a dead woman has led Indian police to probe a suspected case of will forgery.
“While they were bringing her body back home , they took her thumb impressions on documents and prepared a fake will after calling a lawyer,” said Mr Sharma in his police report, referring to Mr Kumar and his son. The 45-second clip was circulated on social media in April, nearly two years after Ms Devi’s death on May 8, 2021, Mr Sharma told Indian media. It is not known who recorded the video.
“Our hunch was confirmed after the video started doing the rounds on social media,” he told The Times of India.Agra police on Tuesday charged three men, including a legal professional, over multiple offences including cheating, Indian media reported. Investigations are ongoing.
