Tamil Nadu police have filed an FIR against former CEO and MD of HDFC Bank Aditya Puri. FIR was registered in connection with a Chennai resident complaint, after he alleged that Puri had threatened him through a video call regarding a dispute over repayment of loans he took from the bank. Based on a complaint from Venkata Subramanian, a resident of Vadapalani, the police have registered the case under four sections against Aditya Puri and eight others, including two women employees and HDFC legal manager on Friday. 

IPC sections - 294b, (use of obscene words), 341 (wrongful restrain) 324 (voluntarily causing hurt with dangerous weapons) and 506(1) (criminal intimidation) was imposed against the suspects. A case has been registered at Tiruchy Cantonment police station, after the State police intervened, in connection with threat and abuse that allegedly happened at the Chennai office, where Subramanian was forcefully taken in a car, assaulted and bundled out in Tiruchy in August 2018. Subramanian told a news agency, "I was called to settle the dues of Rs 8 lakh. I had taken 2 personal loans of Rs 5 lakh and Rs 1 lakh for bike loan besides a credit card bill of over Rs 50,000. The loans were taken in 2014-2015. I have paid 10 installments and stopped paying after the bank manipulated my loan amount to a higher amount. I went to the consumer court, arbitrator etc. The bank, after lodging a complaint with the Tiruchy CCB against me in the first week of August 2018, called me for a settlement in its Aminjikarai office where I was assaulted, abused, threatened. I was taken in a car blindfolded. Later, I was allowed to go home in Tiruchy". 

Based on a complaint from the HDFC bank at Tiruchy CCB, Venkata Subramanian was arrested and jailed for 5 days before released on a bail. Meanwhile, he approached Chennai police for filing a complaint, but they refused to file a FIR. He approached the DGP office from where he was directed to go to Tiruchy and lodge the complaint, based on which an FIR has been registered. The victim alleged that senior officials from the police department were not even ready to share the CCTV footage of the incident and suspected that certain police officers from Tiruchy were also in connection with the bank officials.
