Lahore, Pakistan: Google, the world’s largest search engine, says Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi is no more alive as he died in 2008.

If you do not believe you can check it yourself! Just go to Google’s homepage and write “Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi” and enter. As results come see on the right side of the screen where his profile is and see yourself what is written over there.
This is Google’s Knowledge Graph, introduced back in May to offer better search results in summarized manner, erroneously shows that Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi died in 2008. It is unclear so far that from where Google gathered this information.
This might be considered as a tiny technical glitch for Google, however, how badly this can strike Mr. Elahi remains a hard thing to estimate.
