India, March 19 -- A Bengaluru tenant has sparked an online debate after claiming her landlord deducted a large portion of her security deposit after she vacated a rented flat in Yeshwanthpur.

In a video shared on Instagram, Charu Gupta claimed that she had paid Rs.70,000 as a security deposit for a 3BHK flat she shared with two others. She said that the landlord later asked them to vacate the property, citing plans to sell it. However, after moving out, Gupta alleged that she received only Rs.18,000 back from the deposit, with the remaining amount deducted under multiple heads.
