Man in India Found Guilty of Impersonating Missing Son of Wealthy Landlord For 41 Years - Report_我的网站

一 |     Geneva, Oct 11 (UNI) Cascading global crises have left 54 countries — home to more than half of the world’s poorest people — in dire need of debt relief, the UN said on Tuesday.

In a new report, the United Nations Development Programme warned that dozens of developing nations were facing a rapidly deepening debt crisis and that "the risks of inaction are dire".

UNDP said without immediate relief, at least 54 countries would see rising poverty levels, and "desperately needed investments in climate adaptation and mitigation will not happen".

That was worrisome since the affected countries were "among the most climate-vulnerable in the world".

The agency’s report, published ahead of meetings of International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and also of G20 finance ministers in Washington, highlighted the need for swift action.

But despite repeated warnings, "little has happened so far, and the risks have been growing," UNDP chief Achim Steiner told reporters in Geneva.

"That crisis is intensifying and threatening to spill over into an entrenched development crisis across dozens of countries across the world."

The poor, indebted countries are facing converging economic pressures and many find it impossible to pay back their debt or access new financing.

The UN agency said debt troubles had been brewing in many of the affected countries long before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.

According to data, 46 of the 54 countries had amassed public debt totalling $782 billion in 2020, the report said.

Argentina, Ukraine and Venezuela alone account for more than a third of that amount.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly, with 19 of the developing countries now effectively shut out of the lending market — 10 more than at the start of the year.

A third of all the developing economies have meanwhile seen their debt labelled as being "substantial risk, extremely speculative or default," UNDP’s chief economist George Gray Molina told Geo news.

The countries at the most immediate risk are Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Tunisia, Chad and Zambia, he said.

Steiner, who has repeatedly raised the alarm about the crisis, voiced hope the international community might finally recognise that action is in everyone’s shared interest.

"Prevention is better than treatment and certainly... much, much cheaper than having to deal with a global recession," he said.

UNI GNK。    In a twisted tale of criminal impersonation, cheating, and conspiracy, a man from India's Bihar state's Jamui district has been found guilty of impersonating the missing son of a wealthy landlord for 41 years.,The imposter, identified as Dayanand Gosain, not only pretended to be Kanhaiya Singh, the missing son of an affluent family from Murgawan village, but also used his fake identity to go to college, get married, and raise a family, a BBC report has revealed.,He gave biometrics for a national identity card as Kanhaiya Singh, cast his votes, paid taxes, bought a licensed gun, and sold 37 acres of Singh's property.,Entry of Imposter,It reportedly all started in September 1981, when Gosain, in his early 20s, arrived in a village barely 15 km from where Kanhaiya lived. He told the locals that he was the "son of a prominent person" in Murgawan village, and that he now sings and begs for a living.,The news of the return of the missing son spread like wildfire in the village and reached the ears of Kanhaiya's father Kameshwar Singh, who rushed to see for himself. Singh, as well as some of his neighbors, reportedly believed that the imposter was indeed Kanhaiya and he was brought back home.,"My eyes are failing and I can't see him properly. If you say he is my son, I will keep him," Singh told them, according to police records.,Identity Theft Suspected,The story took an interesting turn when Kanhaiya's mother, Ramsakhi Devi, told people that the man was not her son, but an imposter trying to cheat everyone and get the inheritance.,Devi revealed that Kanhaiya had a "cut mark on the left side of his head" which was missing on this man. In another incident, Kanhaiya failed to recognize a teacher from the boy's school.,Days after the incident, Devi filed a case of impersonation against the imposter, after which the man was arrested briefly and spent a month in jail before securing bail. After he was out on bail, the imposter continued to pretend to be Kanhaiya and also tried to "kill" his original identity with a fake death certificate.,Gosain steadfastly refused to provide a DNA sample to match with the landlord's daughter Vidya to prove that they were siblings.,Under the false identity, the criminal pursued a bachelor's degree in English, politics, and philosophy at a local college, which found his conduct "satisfactory". A year later, in 1982, Singh had Gosain married off to a woman of his own landowning caste and had two sons and three daughters.,In 1991, Kanhaiya's father, owning, by one estimate, more than 60 acres of land, passed away, after which the imposter inherited half of a nearly century-old, two-story mansion in Murgawan.,Shocking Detail Revealed During Investigation,Kanhaiya was only 16 when he went missing and "returned" after four years.,During the court trial, when Judge Manvendra Mishra asked Gosain where he had lived all these years, the imposter reportedly said that he had stayed with a holy man in his ashram in the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur city.,However, Gosain couldn't provide any witnesses to back up his claim.,Chittaranjan Kumar, a senior police officer in Jamui, dug up details of Gosain's background and revealed that he was the youngest of four sons of a farmer in the Jamui district in Bihar who had left his home in 1981 and sang and begged for a living.,Gosain had earlier been married, but his wife left him soon after and got remarried and settled down.,The investigation team noticed that Gosain's official documents had different dates of birth - January 1966 in high school records, February 1960 on his national identity card, and 1965 on his voter identity card. A 2009 local government card for accessing food rations listed his age as 45 years, which would mean he was born in 1964. Gosain's family said he was "about 62", which would tally with his birth date on the national card.,Kanhaiya's childhood friend and relative, Gopal Singh, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, remembers Kanhaiya as a "timid, shy and amiable" boy. But when he saw Gosain, Gopal said that he didn't resemble Kanhaiya at all.,Gosain Busted After Three-Decade Court Trial,The imposter's fraud was busted after more than four decades, when a trial court held hearings without break for 44 days in February 2022.,According to Indian media, the court found all seven defense witnesses unreliable. The defense produced a death certificate declaring Dayanand Gosain dead, but it was dated May 2014, and said that Gosain had died in January 1982.,The court charged Gosain with forgery and also questioned the defense why a death certificate had been made 32 years after the person's death.,"To prove himself as Kanhaiya, Gosain killed himself", Judge Mishra reportedly stated.,Moreover, Gosain's refusal to provide DNA samples for more than eight years made the case even more suspicious, with the court stating that a DNA test would expose Gosain's false identity.,Judge Mishra found Gosain guilty and in June, a higher court upheld the order and imposed seven years of "rigorous imprisonment".,The court believed there was a wider conspiracy involving several people from Murgawan who had helped "plant" Gosain into Singh's family as his lost son. The judge suspected that these people could have bought land owned by Singh and later sold by Gosain as his natural heir. Both the claims have yet to be investigated.,Family's Reaction,Gosain's eldest son Gautam Kumar said the family had never doubted their father's identity and that he had never discussed the "impersonation case" with his father.,"He (Gossain) is our father. If my grandfather had accepted him as his son, who are we to question him? How can you not trust your father?" he reportedly asked.,"Now after all these years, our lives and identities are hanging in balance because my father's identity has been taken away. We live in so much anxiety".,Want to know more? Check out our Koo & Telegram accounts!,Koo: https://www.kooapp.com/profile/sputniknews,Sputnik India: https://t.me/sputniknewsindia。
