A farmer from Karnataka's Tumakuru district was humiliated and turned down by the staff at a Mahindra car showroom when he went to buy a Bolero pick-up truck. The farmer alleged that the staff made a taunt at him saying "the car is worth â¹ 10 lakh, and you probably don't even have â¹ 10 in your pocket".
