Beggar dies, leaves sack of money

The Police in Mumbai India discovered a sack full of money.

The 82-year-old man who died on Sunday following a train accident at Vashi had spent years begging around train stations.

According to local media in India, the man lived alone in a shanty residence made of plastic sheets near a drain between Govandi and Mankhurd train stations.

Azad's neighbours in the slum said they thought he had no family while some told the police that he never spent money on even a cup of tea. He begged for all his needs.

According to the Railway police inspector Nandkishor Saste from Vashi, the deceased lived with his two sons before they moved in search of better living.

After receiving the report of the death of a beggar found dead by the railway tracks, they started a routine investigation.

To their surprise, they found a sack full of coins, certificates of fixed deposits and bank savings accounts.

It took police nearly eight hours to count the coins which they found at the beggar's single room house.

So far, five people have called the Police claiming to be Azad's sons.
