Chandigarh, Sep 8: A 102-year-old man in Haryana's Rohtak carried out a rather unique procession on Thursday, when he rode a wedding chariot to the tunes of a brass band, to prove him alive in the official records, which had pronounced him dead.
Duli Chand, a resident of village Gandhra in Rohtak district, wore a garland of notes, as is customary for a groom, and took out the procession from Mansarovar Park to Canal rest house in Rohtak city to press the state government to restore his pension which was stopped in March this year.
Naveen Jaihind, a former chief of the Haryana unit of Aam Aadmi Party, said Duli Chand was shown as dead in the government records and his old-age pension was stopped.
Jaihind, who accompanied Duli Chand, said the centenarian is alive and he has his Aadhaar card, family ID, and bank statements to prove it.
Duli Chand and his supporters even carried placards on the way to the government office, one of them read 'thara fufa zinda hai (Your uncle is still alive)'.
At the end of his glorious ride, Duli Chand, and Jaihind, met former minister and BJP leader Manish Grover and demanded restoration of his pension, showing him his papers.

H D Revanna seeks anticipatory bail in K R Nagar victim kidnap case
Bengaluru: MLA H.D. Revanna has filed for anticipatory bail in connection with a kidnapping case involving an alleged rape victim in the K R Nagar police jurisdiction in Mysore.
Scheduled to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday, Revanna had intended to petition the court directly for bail. However, he opted against direct appearance due to the filing of an FIR against him at the K R Nagar police station. The son of the purported rape victim filed a complaint, accusing the Holenarasipur MLA of abducting his mother.
Given that the registered kidnapping case constitutes a non-bailable offense, H.D. Revanna has submitted an application for anticipatory bail in the Bengaluru City Civil Court, citing concerns about potential arrest.
