The husband said the store refused to give them foodgrains as Shakina, who was too ill to step out, was not present for biometric identification

The family of a 50-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly claimed she died of starvation on Tuesday because they were denied their monthly quota of cheaper foodgrains as she could not be present at the ration shop for biometric identification, NDTV reported on Wednesday.

The district administration, however, denied that Shakina died of starvation. An official was quoted as saying by The Indian Express on Wednesday that the woman had been unwell for the past few days.

The family has alleged that it was not given rations under the Public Distribution System for November because Shakina, who is marked as the head of the family in the ration card, was too ill to even be taken to the shop. “My wife died because of hunger,” said Mohammed Ishaq. “We used to take her to the shop in a rickshaw, but this time she was very ill.”

Ishaq said the family begged the ration shop owner, but he refused to give them anything until Shakina came and identified herself using the fingerprint scanner at the shop.
