MUZAFFARGARH (Kashmir English): A Muzaffargarh man who got fame by begging in English died in a traffic accident, leaving millions of bank balance behind.
Shaukat was the richest beggar of the area and was famous for begging in a unique manner.
The accident occurred near village Jhingar Marha when Shaukat was riding his motorcycle and collided with a loader rickshaw. According to rescue sources, he died on the spot.
Shaukat was famous on the roads of Muzaffargarh and Multan for his unique style of begging in Urdu and English.
He often not only informed people about his “art” of begging but also proudly mentioned the millions of rupees in his bank account and showed bank statements.
Shaukat used to say that he always asked for only one rupee, and when people didn’t have one rupee, they would give him 10-rupee note.
Less like a beggar!
Due to this clever strategy, he appeared less like a beggar and more like a “self-branded expert in the art of begging.”
According to local residents, Shaukat was a resident of Shah Jamal, a father of three. He not only had a bank balance but also owned several acres of agricultural land.
