📌 A priest in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, lent his Aadhaar card to a sick monk for medical treatment.
📌 After the monk's death, hospital records mistakenly listed the priest as deceased.
📌 The administration is now investigating the document correction process.
A shocking case has emerged from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, where an act of kindness led to serious consequences. A priest, Chetangiri, offered his Aadhaar card to help a sick monk, Kuldeep (42), from Najafgarh, Delhi, who had no identification. However, after the monk passed away, hospital records mistakenly registered the priest as deceased.
🔹 February 7 – Monk Kuldeep arrived at Balaji Temple in Kant village, seeking shelter.
🔹 Days later – His health deteriorated, and priest Chetangiri took him to Bissau and Jhunjhunu hospitals for treatment.
🔹 BDK Hospital Admission – Since Kuldeep had no ID proof, the priest used his own Aadhaar card for hospital registration.
🔹 February 22 – Kuldeep's condition worsened, and he was referred to SMS Hospital in Jaipur, where he passed away during treatment.
🔹 Death Certificate Blunder – The hospital recorded Chetangiri’s name as the deceased, leading to major confusion.
Upon receiving the death confirmation, priest Chetangiri brought the body to his native village, Birami, for cremation. However, villagers opposed the funeral, claiming the deceased was not Chetangiri. A police investigation revealed the real identity of the monk through a note in his pocket containing phone numbers.
The local administration has assured the priest that the death certificate will be rectified based on valid documents. Chetangiri, who only wanted to help a sick monk, is now facing the distress of being wrongly declared dead.
Interestingly, the same BDK Hospital recently made headlines when a declared dead man ‘came back to life’, only to pass away later.
