Police today said they will probe allegations by a farmer in Beed district that a moneylender sought his daughter and daughter-in-law for “company” to free his land from mortgage.
“We have initiated action on the farmers claims and will take appropriate action against the moneylender,” Beed SP Anil Paraskar said.
IPS officer said chairperson of the State Womens Commission Vijaya Rahatkar also called him and sought a report on the matter.
“We got to know this fresh angle from news reports. The farmer hasnt come forward to register complaint, but we have initiated an inquiry and will take action accordingly,” Paraskar said.“In April, police received a complaint about the land being seized from the farmer by the moneylender.
However, it is only yesterday that the farmer Inder Munde from Dharur tehsil in Beed district mentioned that the moneylender Bhagwan Bade sought his daughter and daughter-in-law for “company” to end the mortgage on his land,” he said.
Munde said the moneylender made this shocking demand despite repayment of the loan taken from him.
