Initially, the police agency determined that since 2014, due to business relations, Mr. D. owed Binh Minh Industrial Materials Joint Stock Company, whose director is Ms. Luu Thi Minh, 410 million VND.

Because he did not have money to pay, Mr. D. asked for a debt extension to pay gradually, but Mr. Doan Dac Thao, Deputy Director of Binh Minh Company (Mrs. Minh's husband) did not agree and hired Chu Manh Hung to collect the debt.

Mr. Thao agreed with Hung that if he could get the money back, Thao would pay Hung 1/3 of the debt.

Hung agreed to collect the debt and then invited his brother Chu Duc Dung, friend Le Hong Minh and some other people to join.

Accordingly, this group of people repeatedly caused house break-ins, phone calls, text messages threatening Mr. D's family and assaulting workers at Mr. D's company.

On October 15, under pressure from the above group, Mr. D. was forced to borrow 195 million VND and bring it to Ruby Coffee Shop to give to them, but the police discovered and arrested him.
