Last year, the mangoes were stolen after locals came to know that the couple has started to grow this rare fruit.
After the incident, Rani and Sankalp hired guards to protect their cultivation. This year, however, they have employed four guards and six dogs to protect the rare trees.
“He offered these saplings to me and asked to take care of these plants like our babies. We planted it in the orchard without knowing what variety of mangoes it will produce,” said the orchardist.
Sankalp has named the mangoes Damini, after the name of his mother. Later, he researched more about this variety and found the real name. “But it is still Damini for me,” the man stated.
Rani said that several mango cultivators and fruit lovers have contacted them. She further stated that a jeweler from Mumbai was ready to pay ₹21,000 for a mango.
However, the couple has now made it clear they are not going to sell the fruit to anyone.
