Hyderabad: Promoters of loan apps that have been banned and against whom fraud cases have been lodges are gradually getting back into the business, albeit from other locations.
Some of them have floated new apps and hired employees, who harass customers demanding repayments. The apps are being operated from Bangalore and Delhi while the customers are from Telangana.
When one such ‘harassed’ customer Raj Kumar committed suicide in Kulsumpura police limits a few days ago, police intensified the probe based on a complaint. Police urged customers to approach them if they receive a phone call from any loan app call centre.
