According to officials, the farmer had applied for an increase in his Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loan limit from ₹2.4 lakh to ₹6 lakh. The Branch Manager allegedly demanded a bribe of ₹30,000 to increase the loan limit. The demand was being negotiated through a private person, who acted as a middleman.

The farmer did not want to pay the bribe and requested the Branch Manager to increase the limit without it. However, the Branch Manager kept insisting on a bribe, and due to this, the farmer filed a complaint with the CBI.
