A car salesman’s decision of making fun of an Indian farmer, who came to buy a SUV, because of the clothes proved to be a costly mistake.
According to a journalist, a car showroom salesman made fun of farmer Kempegowda, who went to buy the SUV, after seeing his clothes in the Kumur city of the Karnataka state of India. Moreover, the shopkeeper sent the farmer away thinking he did not have INR10 let alone INR10 lacs.
Kempegowda contacted his relatives and friends for help and arranged Rs 10lacs in an hour. They went to the showroom and asked for the vehicle’s delivery vehicle on the same day.

The showroom staff then said the car will get delivered in three days.
Kempegowda filed a police complaint at Tilaknagar police station in Tumkur for making fun of him. The two parties settled the matter after they apologized for their behaviour.
Here’s how social media users reacted.
People should boycott Mahindra vehicles- teach them a lesson. If they think only people wearing suits are their customers- they need to pack off and go somewhere else. This is very common even in malls and other high end showroom where judgement is done basis dress.

@ndtv @timesofindia @CNNnews18 show room personal need to be booked & punished so that no one dare to discriminate. Why has not Anand Mahindra taken any action. People must boycott Mahindra vehicles until a public apology is given.Why is no media house showing this discrimination
