107 year old man lies in his own grave

Hundreds of people are flocking to a remote village in Jharkhand to catch a glimpse of an old man who has built his own grave alongside his wife's and has been tending to it for the last six years. Basanta Rai Guruji claims to be 107 years old and spends his day clearing weeds from the grave and lying in it. Belonging to a Hindu caste who bury their dead, Rai dug his own grave along his wife's after she died in late 2001 of cancer.
