Farmer in Rajasthan loses Rs 5 lakh after burying cash in field

A farmer in the Balotra district of Rajasthan, identified as Mangilal Meghwal, lost Rs 5 lakh after burying the cash in his field to keep it safe. The farmer, who had sold a piece of land to fund a house construction, forgot the exact location of the buried money due to memory lapses. When the cash was recovered nearly a year later during agricultural work, termites had destroyed the notes, rendering them unusable.
