However, without sharing much information with anyone, the man left the hospital on his own. As per hospital records, the man said his name was Anil Kishore, police said.
On Tuesday morning, Kishore was found dead outside a shop in the area. His body was shifted to a hospital for post-mortem examination. A container found near the body was taken to the police station for inspection.
When it was opened in the presence of local panchayat member Philip Umman, officials found a large sum of money inside.
Police said the container held more than ₹4.5 lakh in cash, including banned ₹2,000 currency notes and foreign currency. The money was reportedly stored inside plastic tins.
According to local residents, Kishore used to beg daily for food expenses, and no one suspected he was carrying such a large amount of money. Panchayat member Philip Umman said the discovery shocked people in the area.
Police said the cash would be handed over to the court, whether or not any family members of the man come forward to claim it.
