Overview

• The incident occurred on May 3 in Leela Ka Bas village, Rajasthan, during the cremation of 80-year-old Bhuri Devi.
• Omprakash, the fifth of seven sons, lay on the funeral pyre, refusing to allow the cremation until he was given his late mother’s silver bangles.
• Family elders had earlier handed the bangles to the eldest son, Girdhari Lal, recognizing his care for their mother during her life.
• The standoff, rooted in a long-standing property dispute between Omprakash and his brothers, delayed the cremation by nearly two hours.
• A video of the dramatic protest has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread attention to familial inheritance conflicts and their cultural significance.
