Man dies after being assaulted for seeking repayment of loan in Arsikere
The deceased was allegedly assaulted by a couple who are residents of the same village
Mansoor Pasha, a man from Arsikere in Karnataka, passed away after being assaulted by Sanaullah and his wife, Jareena Banu, over an unpaid loan, on August 31. According to Aseeya Tabassum, Pasha's sister-in-law, Sanaullah had borrowed ₹40,000 from Pasha around a year ago, but had not repaid the amount despite several reminders.
On August 31, at approximately 1 p.m., Sanaullah confronted Pasha in front of Tabassum's house in J.C. Pura, Arsikere taluk. When Pasha asked Sanaullah to repay the loan, the accused allegedly lost control, abusing and assaulting the deceased. Tabassum's aunt, Bhatina Khanam, and her son, Mohammed Faiz, attempted to separate the two sides, but were pushed away by the accused. Faiz suffered a head injury after being pushed against a wall. Pasha fell unconscious during the assault.
Tabassum and her father-in-law, Mujahid Khan, rushed Pasha to the Arsikere Government Hospital, where medical professionals confirmed his death upon examination. The Banavara police registered a case based on Tabassum's complaint of assault and murder, and are currently investigating the incident.
