Crorepati beggar: Indore's Mangilal picked up from streets owns three houses, autos, car and also runs a money-lending business

Mangilal, one of the beggars of Madhya Pradesh's Indore, owns multiple properties, three-rented auto rickshaws, a car with a driver and also runs a part-time money-lending business. The Indore Beggar Eradication Campaign led to the discovery of Mangilal, who collected substantial daily earnings and was picked up from Sarafa Bazaar in Indore. Mangilal is also a beneficiary of a one-BHK house as part of a combined initiative by the state government and the Red Cross.
