Kanpur: He is a 'dead' man and his hopes of 'returning back to life' have been dashed after his nomination papers for an Assembly seat in Kanpur were rejected. Santosh Murat Singh, a Varanasi-based man, had filed the nomination for the Maharajpur Assembly seat to prove that he was alive after being declared dead in revenue records.
His nomination papers have been rejected for not fulfilling the mandatory requirements. Singh, who claims that he has worked as a cook for the famous Bollywood star Nana Patekar, staged a protest on Thursday (February 4), saying that his nomination was rejected for the wrong reasons.
He told reporters that he was declared `dead` by his cousins using forged documents to grab his property.
