Vinod Dixit, a resident of Harbansh Mohal in Kanpur, had a younger brother named Durgesh Dixit, who was named in an old case. In 2009, after a fight with some youths in Vijay Nagar Colony, a case was registered against him under sections of assault and intimidation. However, in 2015, Durgesh's liver failed due to excessive alcohol consumption, and he died during treatment.

The family performed the last rites but did not obtain a death certificate. Now, 10 years later, the police have issued a warrant against Durgesh and summoned him to court on March 19.

Durgesh's family says that when the police reached out to relatives looking for him, they were told that he had died. But the police demanded a death certificate. The family only has a cremation slip, which is not enough for the police. Now the police are constantly warning the family to present Durgesh on the day of the court appearance.

The family is worried about how they will present a person who is dead in court.
