The two people gave the pond on lease during the lockdown. They decided to take advantage of her and asked her for Rs 90,000 instead of Rs 60,000. They agreed to have the lease agreement till 2023. In April, when fish were ready for sale the leaseholders demanded that the fish be sold for a very low amount. When she refused, they forcefully took away her harvest of shrimp.
