A startling revelation has emerged from Bihar, india, where a social media post by user Nehr_who claims that Minita Devi, allegedly aged 124 years, has been registered as a first-time voter. The post, accompanied by images of voter lists from the election commission of india (ECI), highlights Minita Devi’s details, including her EPIC number TSN3400439, and lists her residence in the Siwan district under the Daraundha assembly Constituency.
The claim challenges the widely accepted record of Ethel Caterham, a 115-year-old from the United Kingdom, who is currently recognized as the world’s oldest living person. This unexpected disclosure has ignited a firestorm of curiosity and skepticism, with the post suggesting that the ECI has kept this extraordinary case under wraps, potentially robbing Minita Devi of a Guinness World Record title.
The accompanying voter list images also feature two other individuals—Asha Devi, aged 120, from Bhagalpur, and Manaturiya Devi, aged 119, from Gopalganj—further fueling the narrative of unusually aged voters in Bihar. Nehr_who asserts that these individuals, registered after a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls, represent a hidden demographic that could rewrite global longevity records. The post accuses the ECI of secrecy, implying that the commission may have intentionally obscured these cases to avoid international scrutiny or controversy. This revelation comes at a time when the ECI has been under scrutiny for voter roll discrepancies, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding story and prompting calls for the Guinness World Records to investigate.
