According to reports, Geeta Devi, Treasurer of the Lakshya Prerna Sampoorna Sampoorna Sangh Ram Laxman, President Rambha Devi, and Secretary Kanti Devi, residents of Jungle Pipra village, had arrived at the bank on Friday. It is alleged that some women from the other party arrived there at the same time and began abusing them on the bank premises.
As the dispute escalated, both sides came outside the bank, where about a dozen women attacked Geeta Devi and others. Geeta Devi suffered a head injury in the scuffle.
Police officers present at the scene intervened and managed to separate the two sides. Following the incident, chaos prevailed in the bank premises for some time. It is reported that a dispute between two groups regarding the office bearers had been ongoing since the 2025 elections. This clash is believed to be a result of that old dispute.
Taking action in this matter, on the complaint of Geeta Devi, the police have registered a case against Meera Nishad, Dulari Devi, Madhuri Devi, Sangeeta Devi and Sugandha Devi under sections of assault and rioting.
A video of the incident surfaced on Saturday and is going viral on social media. Police said the matter is being investigated and strict action will be taken against the culprits.
What is SHG?
A Self Help Group (SHG) is a small voluntary group of people, usually 10 to 20 members, who come together to save money regularly and support each other financially and socially.
Most Self Help Groups are formed by women in villages and urban areas to improve income and living standards. Members contribute small savings every month, and the collected money is used to give loans to members for needs such as starting a business, farming, education, medical treatment, or household expenses.
Bank Loan to SHG
Banks give loan to SHG for Business activities, agriculture, animal husbandry, small trade, household needs, and other productive purposes. Generally, Banks provide collateral free loan to SHGs – means the loan is provided without any security upto a certain limit.
