Leprosy-afflicted beggar owns multiple properties

In Indore, officials found a man who begs on the streets but actually owns three houses, a car, and three autorickshaws.

He also lends money in the bullion market and earns a lot of interest every day.

He even hires a driver to take him around in his car while he begs.

The man has been begging since 2021 and makes about Rs 1000-1200 daily from interest and Rs 400-500 from alms.

The officials are checking his assets and will take legal action if needed.

Indore aims to be a beggar-free city and runs campaigns to help those who beg in public.
