Man Paraded Naked Over Loan Repayment

The vendor, who had taken the loan around a month ago for work, stated in his complaint that he owns a garlic cart and works at the fruits and vegetables market in Sector 88.

On Monday, he went to repay Rs 2,500 of the Rs 5,600 and requested that he would eventually repay the remaining amount, according to the vendor.

"However, the commission agent called in his accountant and two labourers to the shop. They held me inside the shop and stripped me of my clothes before assaulting me with sticks and hurling abuses at me," the vendor, who hails from Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh, said.

A video of the incident also surfaced on social media, purportedly showing the vendor being forced to strip while expletives were being hurled at him.

Later, the naked man was sent out of the shop in the open area without any clothes.

Additional DCP Dixit said an FIR was lodged in the case on Monday itself under relevant provisions of the law. Noida Spectrum Mall Fight Viral Video: Group Clashes With Restaurant Staff Over Service Charge, Police Launch Probe.

The FIR has been lodged at the local Phase 2 police station under IPC sections 323, 342, 357, 504, 506 and under Section 66E of the Information Technology Act, the police said.
