Existence checks by name fragments (tanvir) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The queue's years (1923–2009) are confirmed to the day; the death place is internally inconsistent in the English article (Bhopal in the body, Singrauli in the infobox) and both readings are preserved in the death note. Relations written: none — Raipur, Bhopal and Singrauli have no place entities, and his company and awards are never relations.",
