Karnataka Beggar Dies, Rs 8.4 Lakh Found in Sacks at Her Home
A 68-year-old woman named Hoor (also known as Noorunnisa or Hoor Unnisa) in Mandya, Karnataka, who survived by begging, died of age-related illness. After her death, locals discovered over 30 sacks containing coins and currency notes, mostly in small denominations, totaling approximately Rs 8.4 lakh. The money was handed over to her brothers and temporarily kept at a local mosque for safekeeping and counting. The woman had lived alone since her unmarried sister's death two years prior, and the discovery surprised the community given her modest lifestyle.
