Jaipur: A man in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district got himself murdered so that his family members could claim Rs 50 lakh insurance he had bought and spend the rest of their life in comfort.
Balbir Kharol (38), a money lender, took the bizarre decision not because he was debt-ridden, but because he failed to recover money from people who had taken loans from him, according to police.

"This is very unusual thing, but this is what the murder accused have revealed," the SP said.
Kharol had lent nearly Rs 20 lakh to different people but was unable to recover the amount. For the last six months, he did not receive any payment, Mahawar said.
He then planned his own murder so that his family can get the insured amount and lead an easy life, the officer said.
