TFA says he was walking in the village where he was born. The population of Jalandhar city is approximately 1,119,000. That's a big village.
/ Maybe in India it takes a village of a million to raise a child.

How do we know he's not a fakir, and that he's really still alive?

We had a local legend named Sunny, ran loads of 5Ks and 10Ks well into his late '70s. Walked around town all the time and always wearing a cool hat that his wife made, a different one for each season. Talked with everyone and everyone knew him and liked him. Yeah, hit by a teen who was texting and ran a red light while Sunny was in the crosswalk. He immediately survived the accident but died about six weeks later from trauma and so on.
Don't fark with your phone while driving or I will run you off the road myself, assholes.

Why is it a hit AND run? The guy who did the hit isn't running away, he's driving as fast as he can. The guy who was hiat really isn't running any more.

Beas Pind is a village surrounded by agriculture, population 4000. The big city of Jalandhar is 6 miles to the south.

"However, his claim of being the world's oldest marathon runner was not recognised by Guinness World Records as he could not show a birth certificate from 1911"
Oh, sooooo much integrity, these are the same shiatbags who officially recognized:
