The woman made derogatory remarks against the soldiers and said, "You are uneducated, that’s why you have been sent to the border. If you were educated, you would have been working in a reputed organisation. You should not eat someone else’s share, it won’t be digested, (Isiliye tumhare bachche viklang paida hote hai) that’s why your children are born disabled."
"I also belong to a defence family. If you had belonged to a good family, you would not have taken a loan of ₹15–16 lakh. You are living on loans and still giving lectures." She also challenged him to come to the branch and said "Do whatever you want, try to ruin me. (Bhikari jaisa loan pe jee rahhe ho) You are living like a beggar on loans. Am I your father’s servant? Do I look mad to you?
HDFC Bank Denies She's Their Employee
The audio clip is shared on social media X account of journalist "@navalkant". The post also mentions the details of the woman accused of misbehaving with the officer. The post mentions that the woman has been identified as Anuradha Varma who is said to be working at HDFC Bank in Mumbai. The social media post also demands legal action against the woman and also called her anti-national.
The video was shared with the caption, "Listen to the viral audio, I don't know why the fight happened. But the alleged @HDFC_Bank female employee went to the extreme of misbehaving with a military personnel over a loan. Not only that, she insulted the entire army and the martyrs, hurled abuses. She thoroughly humiliated those who take loans. Those taking loans, be cautious!"
In a statement, the bank said that "this information is incorrect. There is no employee of HDFC Bank under that name - Anuradha Verma"
"We would like to clarify that the lady in the audio clip is not an employee of the Bank. The conduct seen in the video is neither acceptable nor does it reflect HDFC Bank’s values," a spokesperson said.
'Horrendous Behaviour'
Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj, a men's rights activist, also shared the post and said, "Horrendous behaviour by your employee @HDFC_Bank. She's talking as if people who take loan are beggars. She's saying kids of soldiers who take loan are born disabled and then become Martyrs. Heights of sickness. Sack her please."
Netizens Demand Termination
The internet users are demanding the alleged HDFC bank to sack the employee immediately for her horrendous behaviour. Another user said, "This is an anti-national behaviour‼ An act detrimental to the dignity & valour of the Armed Forces of India. The bank should immediately terminate this employee, irrespective of how influential her contacts may be."
