Three recovery agents of IndusInd Bank were arrested by Hadapsar Police for allegedly assaulting a 35-year-old man over pending credit card dues, officials said on Wednesday.

The accused have been identified as Jay Suhas Kasar (26), Vinit Suhas Kasar (30), both residents of Ghawatenagar, Manjari, and Tanishq Harish Khude (19), a resident of Kodrenagar, Mundhwa.

According to the police officials, the complainant, a manager residing in Fursungi, had taken a credit card from the bank and had defaulted on a few instalments. On April 27, at around 1pm, the three recovery agents visited the society where the complainant works, near the 15 Number Chowk area in Hadapsar.

Following the complaint, Hadapsar Police registered a case and arrested all three accused. Police Sub-Inspector Hasan Mulani is currently investigating the matter.
