CURRENCY BAN-TELANGANA WOMAN TO
SUICIDE
നോട്ട് നിരോധനം:
സ്ത്രീ ആത്മഹത്യ ചെയ്തു
Last
week, K Vinoda in Shanigaram village in Mahbubabad district of Telangana had
sold her 12 acres of land for ₹50 lakh. The
entire transaction was reportedly done in cash. On the intervening night of
Wednesday and Thursday, the 55-year-old hanged herself at her home.The police are
investigating what could have been the trigger. Neighbours say that she
panicked after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement demonetizing 500 and
1000 currency notes as all her money was in those two denominations. She was
reportedly given wrong information that all that cash that she had safely
locked away in the almirah was reduced to zero. The assumption is that the
worry may have led Vinoda to take the extreme step.
Another reason that is being investigated is a family dispute over the money.
Locals say her three children, including a son and two married daughters, had
been pestering Vinoda for their share of the money she got from the land sale
for the last one week. The police want to examine the land sale documents,
interrogate the family members and also count the money before they can
establish the exact cause of Vinoda's death. Vinoda owned 15 acres of land
in her village, located just 6 km from Mahbubabad town. There has been a
property boom in all of Telangana after India's youngest state was divided into
31 districts from the earlier ten last month. Mahbubabad carved out of Warangal
district, became the new district headquarters. The land rates increased
dramatically in the last couple of months, and Vinoda wanted to cash in on it,
by selling 12 of the 15 acres.
If the entire transaction has taken place in cash, as is the norm in many rural areas, the police will investigate the buyer of the land. The land registration documents will need to be examined to check how much the transaction was actually registered for. His source of the money will also be probed as part of the money chain. It is quite likely that Vinoda who does not look familiar with the banking norms would have panicked when she realised that it would be difficult for her to show such a large amount of money as legally white. Alternately, she would have had to pay tax on it. It is not known if she had an account in any bank. If the panic over the currency ban turns out to be the reason for Vinoda to kill herself, it will be a rather unfortunate fallout of India's attempt to fight black money and fake currency.
ആയിരം, അഞ്ഞൂറ് രൂപ നോട്ടുകള് നിരോധിച്ച സാഹചര്യത്തില് സമ്പാദ്യമെല്ലാം നഷ്ടപ്പെടുമെന്ന്
ഭയന്ന കര്ഷക ആത്മഹത്യ ചെയ്തു. തെലങ്കാനയിലാണ്
സംഭവം.കന്ദുകുരി വിനോദയെന്ന 55കാരിയാണ് ആത്മഹത്യ ചെയ്തത്. മഹബൂബാബാദ് ജില്ലക്കാരിയായ ഇവരുടെ പക്കല് കഴിഞ്ഞ മാസം ഭൂമി വിറ്റ വകയില് അമ്പത്തഞ്ച് ലക്ഷത്തോളം രൂപയുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അപ്രതീക്ഷിത തീരുമാനത്തിലൂടെ
പ്രധാനമന്ത്രി നോട്ടുകള് നിരോധിച്ചതു
മുതല് ഇവര് അസ്വസ്ഥയായിരുന്നതായി കുടുംബം പറഞ്ഞു.
ഭൂമി വിറ്റതു വഴി ലഭിച്ച പണത്തില് നിന്ന് കുറച്ച് ഭര്ത്താവിന്റെ മെഡിക്കല് ബില്ലിനായി ചെലവഴിച്ചിരുന്നു. ബാക്കി പണമുപയോഗിച്ച്
മറ്റൊരു സ്ഥലത്ത് ഭൂമി വാങ്ങാനിരിക്കെയാണ് നോട്ടുകള് നിരോധിച്ചുള്ള തീരുമാനം വന്നത്.
