Social-media speaker Abhijeet Dipke has alleged that a ₹22,000 crore debt linked to Subhash Chandra, described as a former Rajya Sabha MP and owner of the Zee Media Group, was settled for ₹6 crore.
In a video shared on X, Dipke questioned how such a settlement could be available to wealthy businessmen while ordinary borrowers continue to pay interest on their loans.
Using examples of a ₹50 lakh loan and a ₹10 lakh car loan, he said borrowers would welcome being allowed to clear their liabilities by paying only a small fraction of the original amount. Instead, he said, people are required to repay loans along with interest.
Dipke said he himself pays interest on an education loan. He asked why ordinary people do not receive what he called the special facilities available to people such as Chandra and other businessmen.
He further alleged that the debt settlement involved taxpayers’ money, calling it an example of how the system works. The claims made in the video could not be independently verified from the supplied source material.
