Reportedly, the officials of “Satin Credit Care” pulled out the roofs of the house of one Binata Kanda, a resident of Kalachari area of Kamalpur. The beneficiary, reportedly took a loan of Rs 25,000 from the credit agency and maintained to repay her installments in time till the 14th one. But somehow, she failed to pay the 15th installment of her loan leading to such an unprecedented incident.
According to the locals, Binata Kanda is a brick kiln worker. She used to stay with her daughter in the area. The house she was residing was also built under Prime Minister Awas Yojana. The loan was taken by the Sandhya Kanda, daughter of Binata.
