Man pours hot oil on two finance co staff for demanding EMI

Jaipur: Two employees of a finance company sustained burn injuries after a man poured hot vegetable oil when they were asking for outstanding EMI from the person at Chuna Chowk area in Jhunjhunu. Police arrested the accused on Saturday in this connection and have sent him to jail after he appeared before a court.
According to police, the incident took place on Thursday evening when two persons identified as Kuldeep Kumar along with his colleague had gone to ask about the delay in paying of EMI from a customer identified as Surendra Swami.
“As they reached the market area situated at Chunu Chowk the accused Surendra Swami said that he won’t be able to pay the EMI for this month. This triggered a heated argument between them. Suddenly Swami poured the hot vegetable oil in which samosas were fried in a nearby shop on the two bank employees,” said Narendra Kumar, the investigating officer of this case.
A large number of people gathered at the spot to help the two finance company employees. “Both were taken to the hospital where they were undergoing treatment. On the complaint given by both of them we had lodged a case of assault with an intent to kill against the accused. The accused identified as Surendra has been arrested in this case,” said Narendra Kumar, investigating officer of Kotwali police station in Jhunjhunu.
Police added that Surendra had taken a loan of Rs 1.30 lakh and was regularly paying the EMI decided by the bank. However, due to some financial crunch he did not pay the EMI of the bank for the month of December. “He has maintained in the interrogation that when he was requesting the employees of the finance company to give him some time they started abusing him and this is what irked him,” the officer added.
He added that the accused was sent to judicial custody of 14 days by the court.
