Kempegowda had gone with his friends to the showroom to check a Bolero when he was sneered at by the staff. They reportedly told him that he probably didn’t have even Rs 10 in his pocket and had come to buy a vehicle costing Rs 10 lakh! Kempegowda asked the staff if they would deliver the vehicle immediately if he returned with the money in 30 minutes. The staff dared him to return, presuming he cannot afford the SUV. However, Kempegowda returned with Rs 10 lakh cash and asked for the vehicle. The stunned staff tried to come up with excuses but got a mouthful from the farmer for judging him by his attire. Later, a video of the incident had gone viral, with many users flagging them to Anand Mahindra. The Mahindra Group had said that it will investigate the incident and take appropriate action.
