Coimbatore: Amman Finance Company, a private finance company, which functions at Venkatesa Colony in Pollachi in Coimbatore district provides loans for purchasing two-wheelers and four-wheelers.

Vivekanandan (31), a resident of Kallipatti in Negamam, had joined the financial institution six years ago as a sales representative. His job was to collect installments from customers every month and pay them to the finance company.
