Donkey milk scam in Karnataka.
Currently, many states in the country are plagued by stray animals. People let their pets go free. This even includes high-quality dairy cows. Maybe they won’t be able to serve and feed them, but some of them buy donkeys instead of cows and buffaloes to get their milk. You may feel a little strange hearing this, but the news is certain.
Let us tell you that Nutlapati Murali, a resident of Ananthapur district in Andhra Pradesh, started a dairy farm called ‘Jenny’s Milk’ three months ago. This dairy farm was established with great fanfare in Hospet, Karnataka. Nutlapati Murali assured people around the dairy farm that he could earn one lakh rupees by trading “donkey milk” but first put forward a condition of paying thirty thousand rupees to his organization Ten thousand rupees as deposit.
Three hundred thousand rupees were taken from each farmer.
Nutlapati Murali said those who save money will get three donkeys. Nutlapati Murali promised that whoever rears these donkeys and extracts milk from them, he will give Rs 2,000 per liter. Around 200 farmers were influenced by Nutlapati Murali’s words and paid him money. Each farmer paid Rs 3 lakh to Nutlapati Murali’s dairy farm.
The owners of donkeys that cost hundreds of thousands to graze began to buy “donkey milk” from Jenny Milk Company, but the company’s manager started talking about this and that, wasting time. He didn’t even buy a glass of milk from anyone. As a result, someone suspected something was wrong and complained to the local government.
200 farmers were cheated
After investigation by relevant departments, the company did not apply for a donkey milk business license. At the same time, the offices of Jenny Milk Company were also sealed. After the company was shut down by the authorities, its manager Nutlapati Murali is currently absconding. He defrauded 200 farmers of approximately Rs 9 crore. The company claims that they offer three female donkeys in one unit. Many people purchased many units after the company filed its claims.
People are told more than 20 units have been sold. The company delivers the donkeys 20 days after signing the agreement, and the donkeys are brought from various states including Rajasthan and Gujarat. There are many strict conditions for milk production and the company collects the milk directly. Every three donkeys produce a minimum of 1.5 liters and a maximum of 2 liters of milk per day. If milk production exceeds this limit, then the company reserves the right to cancel the agreement and forfeit the amount paid by the farmer.
A donkey sells for one lakh rupees
Among other things, the company offers refrigerators, other technology and bottles for storing milk. When the farmers’ union learned that a company was defrauding farmers to make money, they immediately launched an investigation. It was revealed that donkeys were sold for Rs 200,000 to Rs 30,000 in the market and Rs 100,000 was recovered from the farmers. Not only that, after taking the farmers’ money, the company disappeared from there. The farmer then reported the incident to the police.
