Moneylender Faces Charges in Tragic Suicide Case

A Navi Mumbai man has tragically taken his life, reportedly due to excessive demands by a moneylender, according to local police.

Victim Ravindra Shinde left a suicide note accusing Mumbai-based moneylender Pratamesh Chavan of demanding an exorbitant 30% interest rate, causing him significant mental distress.

The police have charged Chavan with abetment of suicide under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, yet no arrest has been made.
