Speed Post Envelope Returned with “Deceased” Remark
On August 30, the chit fund company sent agreement papers to Ajay Goud via speed post. The village postman, who was supposed to deliver the envelope personally, allegedly wrote that Ajay Goud was deceased without verifying the information and returned the envelope to the company.
Victim Shocked by Call from Chit Fund Company
On the afternoon of September 8, Ajay Goud received a phone call from the chit fund company, asking about the returned envelope. He was shocked to hear that the postman had claimed he was dead.
When confronted, the postman reportedly told Ajay, “What is this? When I came to deliver the letter, the neighbours told me that you were dead, so I wrote it and sent it back.”
Complaint Lodged
Ajay Goud has expressed his intent to file a complaint with Dundigal police and postal officials. He described the situation as unfortunate, saying it is absurd that a living person has to prove that he is not dead due to a postal error.
