Sorry for the late post. Here is the question.
Rudyard Kipling once wrote to a magazine:
"I've just read that _____. Don't forget to delete me from your list of subscribers."
Identify what he was talking about. A similar thing happened to Lal Bihari, who famously, among various attempts to publicize his situation stood for election against Rajiv Gandhi in 1989 (and lost). He was awarded the Ig Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for his '_____' activities, which should highlight a second (and ironic) connection to the thing we are talking about.

Both were considered dead by the state when they were in fact very much alive. In the first case the magazine published a story claiming that Kipling had died and in the second case Mr. Behari was declared dead by the state for all purposes.
List of people who have been recorded as dead even while they are alive? Lal Bihari was trying to help such people get back into the list of living people!
They were publicized as dead, even when they were alive. Alfred Nobel was another famous person to be affected by this.
