A young musician from Adakkakundu at Kalikavu in Nilambur recently decided to sell his property through a draw of lots after his efforts to sell it at market rate failed.
Saleesh Khan took the step following a recovery notice from a bank. He printed hundreds of coupons worth ₹2,000 and started selling them with the help of a local people’s collective.
Though the experiment worked well with hundreds purchasing the coupons, he could not complete the exercise as the Lottery department and the police stopped it as raising money through own lottery schemes is a violation of the Lotteries Regulation Act, 1998 and a punishable offence under IPC 294A.
