The Mysterious Death:
A pool of doubt surrounds the mysterious death of the political leader. Travelling in a train to Patna, a year after he was elected in 1967 as the president of the Jana Sangh, he was "allegedly murdered". 10 minutes after the train's arrival at Mughalsarai station, his body was found near it clutching a five rupee note in his hand Reportedly, last he was seen alive was at Jaunpur after midnight. The cause of death was identified as theft, however, without any substantial evidence.
Deen Dayal was one of the eminent leaders of the country who emphasized on the idea of India free from the intervention of western ideologies and capitalism. Team Checkbrand pays its tribute to the fallen leader.
