However, the administration denied that the family is living in the toilet.

The couple even got their daughter married in the same toilet.
They even got an electricity connection and gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme.
Mohangarh tehsildar Dr. Abhijeet Singh told media persons, "I got to know about the case and have asked for the report. Maganlal Ahirwar came to the office two-three days ago and denied that he was living in the toilet with his family. He has an ancestral house in the village."
He might have lived in a toilet earlier but currently he is not living there, Dr. Singh added.
