Karnataka Beggar’s Death Reveals Rs 8.4 Lakh in Cash
Hoor was an elderly woman who lived in Mandya, Karnataka.
She earned money by begging for many years.
She lived in a rented home and became more solitary after her sister died.
After Hoor died from age-related health problems, neighbours entered the house.
They found many sacks filled with coins and small-value notes.
About Rs 8.4 lakh was counted from the money found.
Some reports said more sacks still needed to be checked, so the final amount was initially uncertain.
Her relatives were contacted, and one brother reportedly donated his share to a mosque.
Hoor, also identified as Noorunnisa, died after spending years begging in Mandya, Karnataka.
Residents found sacks containing coins and low-denomination currency inside her rented home.
Reports variously described the discovery as involving 10, more than 30, or about 30 sacks.
Approximately Rs 8.4 lakh was counted, while one report initially estimated the total could exceed Rs 30 lakh.
The counted money was reportedly handed to relatives, with one brother donating his Rs 2.4 lakh share to a mosque.
