Ms. Suguna stated that she had issued a cheque from her bank account as security while receiving the loan and that the financier was using the cheque to threaten her.According to the complaint, the financier allegedly told her that if she was unable to repay the amount, she should sell her kidney. He reportedly claimed that he knew people who could arrange the sale of a kidney and was familiar with hospitals where such transactions could be facilitated.
