Footage showed the granddad getting to his feet and walking around with aid from a walking stick, allegedly for the first time since his car accident five years ago.

Claims from the 55-year-old that his ability to walk returned thanks to having a Covid jab has been met with “surprise” by local medics who called a team in to look at it.

Dr Jitendra Kumar said: “Amazed to see this. But it needs to be ascertained by scientists.”

Kumar added: “Had he recovered from a medical condition not more than some days old, it could be understood but recovering suddenly from a five-year-old medical condition after taking the vaccine is unbelievable.”

Albel Kerketta, in charge of Petarwar health centre, added: “Accurate information and answers will be available in the coming days when the medical world will conduct research on Dularchand Munda’s illness and his recovery.”

Dularchand’s family says he was treated after the car crash five years ago but he never regained the ability to walk until a day after his Covid jab.
