Women demand action against usurer, say police refused to act on complaint

In a petition, as many as seven women from Harijan Colony of Eral said they borrowed ₹20,000 from a woman named Kosalai, repayable at ₹3,000 per month in 2020. However, the lender converted the repayment into 'Kandhuvatti' with a payment of ₹5,000 per month. Even though the principal amount had been paid promptly, the money lender demanded ₹one lakh from each of them, the petitioners said.

One of the victims said their petition with Eral police was not accepted, as the money lender's son Lingathurai was a police constable at the Nazareth police station.
