Within intensive efforts to make the Indian city of Indore free of beggars, local authorities found a man who had been living for years in the bustling currency market. After being sheltered, bathed, and provided with clean clothes, civil service officials interrogated him about his situation. It turned out that he was not as incapacitated as he appeared. According to reports, he was earning thousands of rupees daily from begging, lending money to shop owners in the currency market with interest. Subsequent investigations revealed that he was not homeless, but owned three houses: a three-story house, another house, and an apartment granted through a government care program. However, it turned out that this was a carefully thought-out strategy that made him richer than most able-bodied people around him. During the investigation, it was also found that members of his family were involved in these activities. The man defended his actions, saying: 'Of course, I go there, but I don't beg, people put money in my pocket or throw coins or banknotes on a wooden plank.' The authorities are currently checking whether the beggar has any bank accounts in his name. The man, known as Manjilal (50 years old), was unable to walk and spent his days sitting on a small wooden platform on wheels, slowly propelling himself. Due to leprosy, he had lost his fingers, making his appearance pitiful, which prompted many to take money out of their pockets. According to the 'News Nation' TV channel, Manjilal never asked anyone for anything; he stood on his platform looking at the ground, which increased the sight of his destitution. In addition, he owned two 'tuk-tuks' that he rented out and hired a driver for a car for a salary of 12,000 rupees ($130 USD). Manjilal himself admitted that the money he earns in the currency market is not necessary for his livelihood, but is a source of funding for various investments.
