Man dies after torture threats by moneylender over ₹18,000

A 42-year-old moneylender has been booked in Maharashtra's Thane after a young man died following extreme harassment over ₹18,000. Victim's family had repaid ₹7,500, but lender Abid Sayyed reportedly demanded ₹20,500 in interest and threatened physical torture. Traumatised by warnings that his nails would be pulled out and fingers chopped off, the youth fell critically ill and died.
