Kamala died on May 8, 2021, and had no children. Her husband died several years ago.
Jitendra Sharma claimed the children of the deceased’s brother-in-law stopped the car while they were taking the body to the hospital to take her thumbprint on a “fake will” in presence of a lawyer.
According to NDTV report, they allegedly took over properties including the house and a shop on the basis of “fake will”.

Later, when the video from the incident went viral, Jitendra’s suspicions got confirmed and he approached the police.
Agra Police has ordered a probe into the matter.
