Indore Beggar Found Owning Multiple Properties, Vehicles, and Money-Lending Business

During an anti-begging campaign in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, officials discovered Mangilal, a physically disabled man who, despite begging publicly, owns three houses, three auto-rickshaws, a car with a driver, and runs a money-lending business in the Sarafa Bazaar area. He reportedly earns daily interest from loans and rental income while also receiving alms. Authorities are investigating how he obtained government housing benefits and considering legal action. Family members and NGOs urge a humanitarian view, noting his disability and past work history.
