CPI leader gets taste of loan recovery agents’ methods
September 9th, 2011 - 8:27 pm ICT by IANSChennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Communist Party of India (CPI) leader R. Nallakannu Friday got a taste of the tactics employed by loan recovery agents of a private bank when he was forced to get down from the car he was travelling in for non-payment of dues by the owner.
According to party officials, Nallakannu was returning in a car after attending a wedding on the city outskirts. The car was stopped by an eight-member group near the Loyola College here and he was forced to get down from the vehicle. The gang then took the car keys and left the spot.
In a statement issued here, CPI’s state secretary D. Pandian denied media reports that Nallakannu was assaulted for protesting illegal mining of sand.
“Nallakannu was taken in a tourist taxi to attend the wedding. As the loan dues were not paid, the car was stopped. He was taken ahead in another car,” Pandian said.
