As per Navbharat Times report, the complaint was filed by Gyanendra Singh, a resident of Papad Hamjapur village, who stated that his brother, Jitendra Singh, ran a tractor dealership called Jai Kisan Traders and alleged that, Jitendra was pressured to boost tractor sales by several individuals, including the company’s area manager Ashish Baliyan, sales manager Sumit Raghav, UP head Dinesh Pant, financier collection officer Pankaj Bhaskar, sales manager Amit Pant, sales head Neeraj Mehra, Shahjahanpur dealer Shishant Gupta and Amitabh Bachchan’s son-in-law CEO Nikhil Nanda.
Jitendra Singh allegedly pressured to improve sales or face the closure of his agency. The officials reportedly threatened to revoke Jitendra’s dealership license and auction his property if sales didn’t improve. Overwhelmed by the constant pressure, Jitendra confided in his family, sharing the harassment he was enduring.
On November 21, the officials allegedly visited Jitendra’s agency for the final time to intimidate him. This relentless stress drove him into a deep depression, leading to his tragic suicide on November 22, 2024.
Although his family filed a complaint shortly after his death, no action was taken at the time. However, following court directives, Krishna Kumar Tiwari from Dataganj police station confirmed to the portal that an FIR has now been lodged against the company’s CMD Nikhil Nanda, along with several others, including the UP head, area manager, sales manager, Shahjahanpur dealer, and three more individuals, for allegedly playing a role in Jitendra’s suicide.
