A case has been registered against a moneylender couple for allegedly molesting a farmer's wife in Nagpur district of Maharashtra, police said on Wednesday. According to the police, the incident had occurred on June 20. "The farmer, a resident of Wakeshwar village of Bhiwapur tehsil, had borrowed Rs 2 lakh from moneylender Abhaychandra Patil, a resident of Umred, in 2017 after mortgaging his 2.5 acres of agriculture land," a police official said. "As the farmer failed to repay the money, Patil was forcing him to give the land to him. However, the farmer refused to do so. On Saturday, Patil and his wife Prajakta came to the complainant's farm and abused him and his wife.
