By · Via Times of India · Published by Everything Blog

In short

Born near Agra in December 1983, Titu Toran Singh began describing memories of a prior existence as a radio shop owner at just 18 months old. An investigation by his family in 1987 matched his statements to Suresh Verme, an Agra merchant shot dead months before Titu was born. When brought to Agra, the boy identified 10 individuals and four distinct locations connected to Verme's life, even noting a display case installed after the murder. Physical observations also revealed head birthmarks on the child that corresponded to fatal bullet wounds.

As a kid, he would also complain about his present family's modest lifestyle and insisted that he used to travel in a car and repeatedly asked to be taken to his home.
