Excellent human and brilliant entrepreneur. I am devastated with the contents of his letter. The government agencies and banks can drive anyone to despair.

In another tweet he also accused financial institutions of obstructing his efforts of repaying debate and said, “In western countries, government and banks help borrowers repay their debts. In my case, they are obstructing every possible effort for me to repay my debt whilst competing for my assets. As far as the prima facie criminal case goes wait for the appeal granted.”
