Ramjit Raghav aged 96 has become a father

An Indian man has become the world’s oldest father for the second time at the age of 96.

Ramjit Raghav was awarded the title two years ago when he had his first born son Karamjit aged 94.

Although he swore one was enough, the pensioner and his wife Shakuntala, 54, welcomed another son Ranjit, last month.

Speaking at his home in the state of Haryana, near Delhi, Mr Raghav said: “What can I do? This is all God’s wish. He wanted me to have another son.”

Mr Raghav told The Times of India that he had remained a bachelor and practiced celibacy throughout his life until he met Shakuntala about 10 years ago.

“After staying together, we decided to extend our family and aspired for two sons. With God’s grace, our wish has been fulfilled.”
