Pune, Apr 28 (PTI) Pune Police have arrested three recovery agents of a private financial institution for allegedly beating up a man in full public view over his credit card dues.
A viral video of the incident which took place in Hadapsar area on Monday showed three persons thrashing the 35-year-old victim on the road even as a woman accompanying him tried to stop them.
Accused Jay Kasar, Vinit Kasar and Tanishq Khude had allegedly asked for extra money from the victim — more than what he owed — and threatened to humiliate him in public otherwise, said Sanjay Mogale, Senior Police Inspector, Hadapsar Police Station.
The victim was identified as Sandip Jamadar, who works with a private firm.
“When he refused to pay extra money, the three intercepted him at an intersection on Monday and thrashed him. We have booked all three accused under BNS sections 308 (extortion) and 118 (assault),” the official said. PTI SPK KRK
