A few families in the city who stand at traffic lights and ask for charity make between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 2 lakh each month! You did read that correctly. This was discovered after authorities spoke with a few families who had been arrested during the city's recent crackdown on the "beggar mafia." In the tri-commissionerates of hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda, these so-called "families" control all traffic intersections and beg for charity.

"Entire family, including husband, wife, four to five kids, and an elderly person, seize control of a crossroads and forbid other vehicles from using it. They often make between Rs 4,000 and Rs 7,000 a day, according to a member of the hyderabad Commissioner's Task Force. The lucrative intersections like Paradise, jubilee hills Checkpost, KBR Park, Masab Tank, Abid Road, Tank Bund, Koti Women's College, Chandrayangutta, and Mehdipatnam are preferred by these gangs. Elders step in whenever disputes develop and split up the operational regions among themselves. By setting several timing slots or traffic signal sites among the groups, a peaceful solution is reached.

The families arrive in auto rickshaws around 10 am and stay all day at the crossroads. They take auto rickshaws back to their homes in the evening, the official said. The authorities discovered that some of these families are also involved in the money lending industry and, in addition to biryani parcels, they also carry alcohol or toddy home.

Some unscrupulous individuals have begun creating a mafia and hiring physically challenged individuals, young children, and elderly men and women, lured by the pay. "At the end of the day, the organisers give each participant Rs 200. The organiser provides food and lodging, according to DCP (West) Joel Davis. ajit pawar (28) of Gulbarga, who had employed 23 people, including minors, was apprehended by the jubilee hills police. He had eight vehicles taken from him by the police, who also discovered that he had several homes in karnataka and had made significant investments in the chit fund industry.
