On December 2, 1999, Mr Singh, a class-4 employee, was kidnapped. Subsequently, his wife lodged an FIR and once the investigation was done, a charge-sheet was submitted. Since he was never found and seven years had passed, he was presumed dead and a death certificate was issued accordingly.
However, around 10 years later, on July 13, 2009, the Rajpur Police Station suggested that she apply for a compassionate appointment for her late husband's position, which she did. Unfortunately, the application was rejected.
