His family alleged the accused repeatedly threatened to enter their home and assault him despite receiving repayments. Family alleges interest demand rose from 3% to 20% According to the family, Tilak Singh had borrowed ₹5 lakh from Kalla Sharma around six months ago and had already repaid ₹3 lakh. However, they claim he was relentlessly pressured to pay the remaining ₹2 lakh along with exorbitant interest. While the loan was initially agreed at a 3% interest rate, the family alleged the lenders later began demanding interest at 20%, escalating the harassment. Repeated assault and threats pushed farmer to take the extreme step The family alleged that Tilak Singh was repeatedly assaulted and threatened with death after failing to repay the outstanding amount. They claimed the accused even entered their house and warned that they would kill him. According to the family, he was threatened again on Thursday (9 July).
