Dear respected people out there.
I was born in a small village in Bihar and for the post 19 years I am living in Delhi.
After completing my matriculation and +2 from from Bihar, I came to Delhi in the year 1999 for my further studies and completed my graduation from Delhi University in year 2002.
After completing my graduation I got a job in Private Limited Company in Delhi and since year 1999 I am staying in Delhi on a rented accommodation. It has been 19 years I have been living in Delhi.
Currently I am staying on a rented house in Delhi with my wife, 1 year and 10 months old son and my mother.
My father was running a small general store shop in the small village in Bihar. He was suffering from asthma. I brought him to Delhi on 3 August 2017 for treatment. However, I could not save my father and unfortunately he passed away on 5 August 2017 due to his illness at my rented house in Delhi. His cremation ceremony was performed in Delhi on 6 August 2017. After performing cremation of my father in Delhi, I went to my village Mahua for further rituals and things which are followed and performed in the family as per Hindu religion.
After completing the rituals by 20 August 2017 few people in the village started coming to me told me that my father borrowed money for business from them on interest and now I owe them money.
When my father was alive he never told me anything about these things neither the people who lent money to my father told me anything about this when my father was alive. And they never asked me or informed me anything about this before lending money to my father when he was alive.
The total amount which they are claiming in total is a huge amount of more than 8 lakh rupees and I cannot affored to pay this. Also, I am not sure whatever these people are claiming is true or false as they do not have any written documents with signature from my father proving that my father owed them money.
Could you please help how can I deal with this situation.
Thank you.
