Indore beggar crorepati: 3 homes, 3 autos and a car
Indore officials uncover a beggar reportedly owning multiple properties and vehicles, promptin g questions as family calls claims false during anti-beggary drive.
During Indore’s anti-beggary drive, a 50-year-old leprosy-affected man was found begging from a wheeled cart in the Sarafa area. Officials say the episode raised eyebrows as they uncovered details that seemed to contradict the typical image of a person begging on the streets. The man’s condition and the surprising financial portrait drew immediate attention from local residents and authorities alike.
According to the officials, the man allegedly owns three houses, including a three-storey building, and travels in a car with a hired driver. He is described as someone who begs during the day while also engaging in lending activities, reportedly in the bullion market, from which he is said to earn daily interest. It’s claimed that he earns around ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 per day from lending plus ₹400 to ₹500 daily from alms.
Reaction from the man’s family has been swift. A nephew told reporters that the three-storey house is actually in his mother’s name and insisted that the claims about his uncle’s wealth were false, suggesting there may have been a misunderstanding. The episode has since sparked questions about verification and the broader context of anti-beggary efforts in the city.
Officials indicated that the case is under scrutiny and that the man has reportedly been begging since 2021-2022, with other financial activities mentioned as part of the investigation. Residents are urged to await further findings as authorities continue to sort through the conflicting narratives surrounding the man’s wealth and who benefits from such claims.
