Bengaluru: In a shocking incident from Bengaluru’s Chandra Layout, a woman was allegedly thrashed, stripped naked, and filmed over an unpaid loan. The accused, including a married couple, reportedly threatened to post the videos on social media if she didn’t pay up. Following a complaint from the woman’s mother, police have arrested three people.
According to the police, the victim and one of the accused, Reshma Banu, knew each other. Two years ago, the woman borrowed ₹1 lakh from Reshma. She also took another loan of ₹50,000 from a woman named Najath, who was introduced to her by Reshma. The victim stated that she was paying ₹5,000 in monthly instalments to Najath and also paying interest to Reshma.
