Mandya: Over ₹8 lakh cash found in beggar’s house after her death
Local residents and community leaders reportedly discovered more than 30 bags containing cash and other valuables.
In Mandya's Guthalu locality, an elderly beggar, Hoor-Un-Nisa, passed away on August 23, 2026, leaving behind an astonishing amount of cash. With a net worth of over ₹8 lakh, the elderly woman's belongings were discovered after her demise. Hoor-Un-Nisa had been living alone since the death of her unmarried sister two years prior, relying on alms for her survival.
Upon her death, community members entered her house to prepare for her funeral, ultimately finding more than 30 bags filled with cash and valuable items. Out of these bags, around ₹8 lakh was initially counted and secured at a local mosque. The remaining bags are yet to be opened, potentially increasing the total amount of cash found.
Community leaders have reached out to Hoor-Un-Nisa's surviving relatives to oversee the remaining cash's official counting and subsequent lawful distribution.
