Dead Man's Thumbprint on Blank Papers Sparks Lucknow Property Probe

In a village in India, a very sad thing happened.

A grandfather named Chhatrapal died, and his family was getting ready to say goodbye at his funeral.

But a video shows someone pressing the dead man's thumb onto blank papers, like a signature.

People were confused and upset because taking a thumbprint of someone who has died seems strange.

The grandfather and his wife had been in a fight with their son about a house and land.

They even had to move out of their own home, and the grandfather said his son could not have his things.

Then the grandfather got very sick and died soon after.

His daughters think his son did something wrong.

Now the police are watching the video very carefully to figure out what really happened.

Nobody has complained officially yet, so the police are just checking the facts first.
