In Pune's Hadapsar area, a 35-year-old man named Sandeep Jamdar reported being assaulted by loan recovery agents from Indusind Bank after they allegedly pressured him to repay more than his due credit card loan of ₹36,000 (roughly $435 USD). The incident occurred on Monday at Number 15 Chowk, where Jamdar claimed the agents verbally abused him and attacked him with wooden sticks. However, the situation escalated when CCTV footage emerged showing Jamdar attacking one of the agents, Jay Suhas Kasar, with a wooden stick shortly before the agents retaliated. Following this revelation, police registered a cross FIR against Jamdar for assault and intentional insult, while the three agents involved were arrested. The case underscores the ongoing concerns regarding aggressive tactics used by loan recovery agents in India.
