HTreported a day later that the ex-Army man, who had served on the Punjab and J&K borders, was queuing up at the State Bank of India branch unsuccessfully for three days to withdraw his pension moneythat the Indian government deposits in his account every month.
Shortly after the photo went viral, a host of individuals, including his relatives, paid him a visit in his modest room to lend him money. However, the veteran of the 1971 Indo-Pak war refused all help.
