Banda District Administration, however, said that he couldn't avail of any facilities due to the absence of required documents.

"He doesn't have any documents so he couldn't avail any government facility. SDM has sent the form to make his voter id card and as soon as his voter id is ready, we will make his Aadhaar card and disability certificate. Then, he will be able to avail all the facilities", Hira Lal, District Magistrate Banda told reporters.
