For example, Singhania Industries owners belong to Singhana town of Jhunjhunu.

Mother Urmila Jhunjhunwala was a housewife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rakesh Jhunjhunwala originally belongs to the Agarwal caste, an influential caste that is known for its business and trade skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rakesh Jhunjhunwala had invested Rs 31 crore in Jaipur-based Raghav Productivity Enhancers Limited. Jhunjhunwala bought 6,00,000 Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) worth Rs 30.9 crore, which were converted into shares 18 months after the date of CCD allotment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rakesh had visited a temple \u2013 Rati Sati Mandi \u2013 in Jhunjhunu about eight months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rakesh Jhunjhunwala passed away in Mumbai at the age of 62.
