Vinod Dongle, a respected notary and private school owner, opened his demat account as usual, only to find a mind-boggling figure staring back at him Rs 2,817 crore.
In Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district’s quiet town of Dhamnod was buzzing with disbelief and laughter on Friday, when a local notary lawyer briefly became, at least on paper, a billionaire.
Vinod Dongle, a respected notary and private school owner, opened his demat account as usual, only to find a mind-boggling figure staring back at him Rs 2,817 crore. His account showed 1,312 shares of Harsil Agro Limited, each inexplicably priced at over Rs 2.14 crore per share. The total? A staggering Rs 28,17,41,29,408.
At first, Dongle couldn’t believe his eyes. “For a few minutes,” he said with a grin, “I thought my destiny had changed overnight. It felt like winning every lottery in the world.”
