“They would pick up the women from their houses in their auto rickshaws and drop them at busy junctions. The women would approach the motorists and seek donations for the Foundation by convincing the donor by informing them about their welfare activities. At the end of the day, the women were paid 35 percent of the proceeds and the remaining was pocketed by Ravi and Mangu. A part of the amount was paid to Ganesh said Ch. Rupesh.
Ganesh provided them with visiting cards, logos of the orphanage, and white coats. Over a period of time, Ravi and Mangu amassed wealth and purchased plots at Nadergul, Badanpet, and Turkayamjal.
The police are conducting a special drive against the beggar mafia and caught the women at Moosarambagh crossroads. (Hydnow)
