AHMEDABAD: A dispute over a Rs 50,000 loan escalated into an attempted murder case, with Madhavpura police registering a complaint after a man was stabbed. The incident stemmed from the borrower’s failure to repay the debt.
In a complaint filed on Saturday, a 34-year-old man stated that he had borrowed Rs 50,000 in cash from a local moneylender residing in Dudeshwar. He had initially agreed to repay the loan in instalments. However, with the moneylender’s son’s wedding approaching, the lender demanded the full amount.
On Friday night, the complainant was at home when his brother-in-law, who lives near Prem Darwaza, arrived and inquired if he had borrowed money from anyone.
“I confirmed that I had borrowed Rs 50,000 from the moneylender. My brother-in-law then informed me that two men were outside, discussing me,” the complainant stated. “The moneylender’s son and his uncle were standing outside. On seeing us, the uncle began abusing us. When we objected to it he attacked my brother-in-law with a sharp weapon,” sad the complainant.
