The Boy Who Remembered a Previous Life: A Chilling Tale of Reincarnation

In New Delhi's news agency, a staggering story was published with the headline "I Remember How I Was Murdered at 5:45 PM." The details were as follows: On August 28, 1983, at 5:45 PM, Suresh Verma, a resident of Agra, India, was shot and killed. The bullet struck his temple, killing him instantly, and the murderer fled. Four months later, a boy named Titu Singh was born in the village of Bhadohi, India. At the age of five, Titu told his parents, "In my previous life, I owned a radio shop. I remember being murdered at 5:45 PM. Two men shot me while I was on my way home from work. One bullet hit my head. It was a businessman named Sadik Jihadine who killed me."

In an interview with Titu's mother, she tearfully recounted, "It's been this way since he was three. He insists he's Suresh Verma. Sometimes he misses his previous home and threatens to leave." Titu claims to have a wife named Uma and two sons. When Titu adamantly maintained his claims of being Suresh Verma, his older brother decided to go to Agra, 13 kilometers from their village, to investigate his brother's assertions and see if the man Titu spoke of indeed existed. Upon arrival in Agra, he was astounded to find a shop in the main commercial street called 'Suresh Radio.' He entered and spoke to a clerk who confirmed that the shop belonged to a man named Suresh Verma who was shot five years earlier, and that his widow was named Uma, with whom he had two sons.

Further surprising evidence surfaced when parapsychologists Dr. N.K. Chaddha from the University of Delhi and Dr. Antonia Mills from the University of Virginia, USA, launched an extensive investigation into Titu's case. Dr. Chaddha opened Suresh Verma's autopsy report, which stated there was a bullet hole in his skull, one centimeter above the right temple. To the amazement of the investigators, they found a birthmark on the right side of Titu's head, exactly at the same location and size as the bullet hole in the murder victim's skull.

Dr. Chaddha arranged for Titu, with parental consent, to meet the widow and parents of the slain merchant. Titu ran to hug Suresh Verma's parents. He asked why they hadn't come in Suresh's Fiat car, leaving Suresh's father stunned as he wondered how Titu knew about the car, which had been sold after Suresh's death. He also told Uma about a picnic where her husband had given her a large box of chocolates, an event known only to the couple. During Titu's visit to Suresh's radio shop, he pointed out changes made in the shop, including added windows and shelves. Most startling of all, based on the child's testimony, Agra police arrested businessman Sadik Jihadine. He confessed to the murder shortly thereafter.

In an interview with Suresh's father, he says, "We talk like father and son, but I don’t encourage frequent communication because it upsets his current parents."

Memories from previous lives are a fascinating phenomenon, demonstrating that our world has not only a physical dimension but also a spiritual one. Paranormal phenomena such as these illustrate that humans possess more than just a physical body; they have a soul.
