'Pay up or we’ll break your legs’
Tuesday, July 25, 2006
Recovery agents of a Mumbai branch of ABN Amro Bank harassed a man until he paid up for some debts he had incurred in Nagpur.
The police are quite astounded at the techniques used by recovery agents, who have already been pulled up by the courts.
“How can they threaten a senior central government employee who has the capacity to pay the amount with words like, ‘Paisa do nahin to taang tod denge (give us the money or we will break your legs)’.
If a senior official is treated like this, after assuring payment in a couple of days, imagine what happens to ordinary citizens.”
ABN Amro Bank is a world bank and it advertises widely, for example on UK TV.
