Slapped with a notice from a private bank for repayment of Rs 56 lakh loan, a milk producer resorted to a novel protest by going to the bank with his three women family members and dousing themselves with milk, causing a flutter in the area.
Sashikumar, a milk producer of R S Puram area, alleged that his friend had obtained the loan after securing his signature on blank papers in 2013, promising him to get the amount for expanding his business.
His friend had given him Rs 13 lakh and assured that the balance would be given after some time but nothing materialised, following which Sashikumar petitioned the Chief Minister's Cell, City Police Commissioner and Collector.
Meanwhile, he recently received a notice from the bank to pay Rs 85 lakh towards interest and principal.
Protesting against this, he resorted to the novel form of protest and also threatened to commit suicide if the problem was not solved at the earliest.
