Nagpur. The tendency of alcoholism and gambling destroyed many families. This is not the first such case in the city. Even before this people have committed suicide after killing their family but every reason was different. The biggest reason for the destruction of the Agarwal family was gambling and betting. According to the people associated with Madan, first he did the business of ice gola. Married to Kiran in the year 2009, then someone asked to set up a Chinese shop in Dayanand Park premises itself.
Madan’s shop opened. Being the oldest shop, there used to be a crowd of customers here. There used to be a collateral of 10 to 12 thousand rupees every day and as soon as the money came, Madan became fond of gambling. After closing the shop every day, Madan used to sit gambling. All the money was spent in gambling. In such a situation, the financial condition of the house started deteriorating. Despite his wife’s explanation, Madan did not improve his habits.
The bank had confiscated the house
Meanwhile, bought a house in Vidarbha Housing Board Colony. To renovate the house, he also took a loan from the bank, but due to gambling and betting, there was no money left and due to non-return of installment, the house was also confiscated. Madan was living in a rented house with his family. At first, only 3 leaves were fond of, but the bookies of Jaripatka also took up the hobby of cricket betting. Then the condition started getting worse. Madan had borrowed lakhs of rupees from many traders at 10 percent interest rate per month.
Unable to pay the monthly rent, the moneylenders started collecting daily. Everyone knew that as soon as the shop was closed, Madan would go straight to gambling. That is why every evening the creditors used to come and stand at the shop. Madan had got a loan of about 70 lakh rupees and was not in a position to pay interest.
It was also difficult to pay the fees of children
It is said that it was also difficult to pay the fees of the children. Madan’s son Rishabh Dayanand was studying in 6th standard in the school. While daughter Tia had to get admission in first class this year. In the affair of giving money to the creditors, Madan did not have any money left. In such a situation, it was becoming difficult to bear the expenses of the education of the children. Madan’s addiction and the financial condition of the house had also worsened. In such a situation, for the last few days, Kiran herself was handling the galley sitting at the shop. The creditors had harassed him for his money and that is why Madan had to take such a big step.
Illegal moneylenders dominated
A social worker told that most bookies and gamblers do business in the Jaripatka complex. It is these traders who have colluded with some illegal moneylenders. Hefty amount is lent for Lagwadi and 10 to 12 percent interest rate is charged per month. About 2 dozen illegal moneylenders are active in the Jaripatka market.
