|February 07, 2025
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka on Thursday met the family of the woman and her son who died by suicide after a microfinance firm seized their house at Konapura village in Malavalli taluk recently, and promised to prevail upon the government to extend all support.
The deceased had taken Rs 6 lakh loan from a microfinance firm which seized their house after they failed to repay the loan. The family members accused the local police of being in nexus with employees of the firm and for forcing the family to leave the house along with a baby during the seizure. Manikya, the daughter of the deceased woman, appealed to the opposition leader for help.
The family also rued that no minister met them. "We are alive due to help from our relatives. We don't know how to pull along as we have nothing to fall back on," said Manikya.
