- Twin sisters born in Nagda village of Madhya Pradesh
114 years ago died together on Thursday. They have now been cremated side
by side.
-
- In a miracle of sorts, the women not only came into the
world together. They also married on the same day in the same village,
turned widows simultaneously and breathed their last on the same night
at almost the same time.
-
- The women, Kali Bi Sheikh and Batul Bi Sheikh, were born
to the couple Umdabai and Sultan at village Siya. They were married into
two different families of Nagda on the same day.
-
- After their husbands died, they have been living together
as friends. They have about 125 grand and great grandchildren between them.
-
- On Thursday night, Kali Bi fell ill and died while being
taken to the hospital. It was nearly at the same time that Batul Bi, who
was sleeping in her house, also breathed her last.
-
- Their death was announced almost at the same time during
the prayer of 'fazar' and they were buried side by side.
