Union Minister VK Singh Sunday called The New York Times “supari media”: Explained: How supari became an underworld code word: What is the origin of the word supari that has gone from being the humble areca nut more popularly used in pan to becoming the code word to order a hit job or discredit the media?

Supari or the areca nut is more popularly known as the betel nut as it is used with betel leaves to make pan. However, over a period of times it has been used by the underworld to indicate a contract given to a person to kill someone else in exchange for money. Over the past few years, it has not been restricted to giving a contract to kill someone but also to damage the reputation of another person.
How did the word supari acquire these meanings over time? There are several theories about the reason why supari went on to acquire these threatening undertones. As per retired ACP Vasant Dhoble, who joined the force in the mid 70’s, it has more to do with the tradition in rural Maharashtra in earlier times of inviting people to marriage with a pan and supari instead of wedding cards to invite them to a wedding. Later it was also used to give a token to someone for carrying out some work like building a house – kamachi supari aali ahey (we have got the contract for work).
