Hyderabad:
After a much embarrassed Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had to remove a list of most wanted fugitives released by it a few days back, owing to grave errors, a bank in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh has put up the photographs of farmers who have defaulted on repaying loans as though they are much wanted criminals.
Observers say this is grossly illegal and an attempt at public humiliation.
This at a time when farmers are passing through a huge crisis, not getting minimum support price for the crop they have grown. Already the last two seasons they have lost their investment due to adverse weather conditions.
