If you do not know the whole story, here is what happened. A video of a salesperson insulting a farmer went viral. The video was shot in Tumakuru, Karnataka. The farmer went inside the showroom to enquire about the Mahindra Bolero.
The salesman instead did not attend to him and said that he would not have Rs. 10 in his pocket, let alone Rs. 10 lakh. The farmer challenged the salesperson that if he came up with Rs. 10 lakhs then the salesperson would need to deliver the car immediately.
After 30 minutes to an hour, the farmer returned with his friends and to the salesperson surprise, he did bring Rs. 10 lakhs. The farmer demanded that the SUV should be delivered immediately. But then the salesperson backed out saying that the delivery would at least take 4 days because there is a process that they have to follow.
Both parties engaged with each other till the police arrived. The farmer was upset and he filed a complaint with the police. He and his friends reported that the salesman did not attend them because of their appearance. The sales executive has apologised for his behaviour. The farmer also did not buy the car from that dealership.
