Farmer from MP leaves 2-acre land for pet dog in his will
In a bizarre incident, an angry father in Madhya Pradesh is
making headlines as he decided to hand over a portion of his ancestral land to
his pet dog.
New Delhi :
50-year-old, Om Narayan Verma, a farmer by profession, named
his pet dog Jackie as the one who will inherit two-acre land, according to his
will that he prepared recently. Verma hails from village Baribada in Chhindwara
district of MP. He was upset with his son's behaviour, hence named his dog as
the heir of his property.
The remaining portion of land registered on farmer’s name
will go to his wife Champa (47), as per the will. The farmer also made it a
point to make the loyal dog his legal heir by recording his will on an
affidavit.
"My wife Champa and pet dog Jackie serve me and I am
healthy as of now and both of them are dear to me," said the farmer in the
will saying he was handing his pet a portion of land so that he doesn’t suffer
as a stray dog after his demise.
Verma mentioned in the will that anyone who serves the dog
after his death would inherit the portion of the land offered to it.
However, there was a twist in the tale as Verma had to later backtrack when the local sarpanch spoke to him and persuaded him to consider the will nullified. Verma later told the media that he had made the will out of anger and was considering to nullify the will.
