Impersonating the lost son of the rich for 41 years

In 1981, Dayanand Gosai, now 62, approached wealthy couple Kameshwar and Ramsakhi Singh, of Nalanda, in the northeastern Indian state of Bihar, to pose as their lost son. Gosai identified himself as Kanhaiya Singh, the only son who went missing four years earlier.

Mrs. Ramsakhi and her 5 daughters in the family always doubted Gosai’s identity because he did not have the same scar as Kanhaiya when he was a child and could not answer any questions about his family. According to local media, Gosai could not even recognize any family members when shown the photo album.

Ignoring the skepticism of his wife and daughters, Mr. Kameshwar, one of the richest landowners in the region, still believed Gosai was his lost son and brought him in to live with his family and gave him the inheritance. property design.

Ms. Ramsakhi then maintained her position of not accepting Gosai and pursuing lawsuits against him. “Until her death, she insisted that this impostor was not her son,” said Rajesh Kumar, Ramsakhi’s lawyer.

Fifteen years after adopting Gosai into the family, both Kameshwar and Ramsakhi died. As an heir, Gosai was given the family’s land and possessions and sold them as his own.

After the death of her mother, the eldest daughter Vidya Singh continued to sue Gosai for many years. In 2019, the court ordered Gosai to take a DNA test, but this man refused.

This week, Gosai was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison by a local court for fraud. Even during the trial, Gosai still refused to plead guilty and even presented the death certificate of a person named Dayanand Gosai to confirm that he was Kanhaiya Singh. However, this death certificate was found to be fake.
