Jamnagar:

The sensational claim of a 77 year old man and trustee of a local temple to die-at-will and going to heaven in god’s chariot at 5 pm today in Jamvanthali village in Jamnagar district of Gujarat proved to be wrong after around 2 hours long drama and day long frenzy.

Ex military-man and trustee of a temple in the village, Harilal Veljibhai Kholiya alias Haribapa had claimed that lord Krishna had given darshan to him and had told him to take to his abode (heaven) exactly at 5 pm today. He had claimed to have resigned from the post of the trustee of the temple

A large number of people had flocked the temple premises cum residence of Haribapa since morning today in the hope of seeing the miracle.

The whole drama became mysterious as the old-man who was sitting on a chair amid his family members and followers fainted exactly at 5 pm.

He however opened his eyes at around 7 pm after around 2 hours of uncertainity and even a scuffle between the crowd and his family members/supporters.

Haribapa, who had made many tall claims in interview to media before the incident refused to talk to it after it. Police took him to hospital for check-up.
