Chennai: Hundreds of doctors and students from various departments of the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital were seen taking to streets on Monday demanding the release of a senior professor with the orthopaedics department of Madras Medical College, who has been lodged in a Lucknow prison for the past 20 days.
Hindu first reported about the case of Dr M Sudheer who had borrowed Rs 20 lakh from a local money lender in Chennai on ‘kanduvatti’ (usurious rate of interest) in the year 2011 to meet the expenses towards his children’s education and for building a house. He gave blank cheques and promissory notes to the money lender.
Now, it is reported that the doctor kept on paying the interest as well as the monthly principal payments, but the lender allegedly prepared false documentation claiming the professor had borrowed Rs 40 lakh and demanded that he pay up the amount. A compliant was filed in 2016 by the professor alleging that the lender was threatening him and his family members, with the petition being pending in the Chennai Court.
