Talking to the media, a loan sharking victim said, “ To cancel Dristibandhak Tamsuk (an informal legal document used by loan sharking agents to exploit poor and illiterate people), return the money overcharged by the loan sharks and take action against them and investigate the illegally seized assets by the loan sharks.”
The loan sharking victims said that the check bounce should be declared politically illegal.
They added that the biggest problem now is that the case should be adjourned if the case has been settled, there should be an appeal and the arrest warrant should be stopped.
They said that the victims in jail should be released with dignity.
