In a crackdown spanning multiple cities across the country and also spreading to China and Indonesia, the Telangana State Police is spearheading an intense effort to prevent more people from being victimised and driven to suicide by instant loan mobile applications.

Raids, triggered by the suicide deaths of three persons allegedly due to harassment by loan app executives and over 150 complaints in different police stations across Telangana, are continuing on multiple call centres and loan app



offices across the country. Special teams comprising personnel of technical wings of the State Police assisted by the local police are part of the raids, with 17 persons arrested so far. Eleven of these were by the Hyderabad City Police and six were arrested by the Cyberabad Police.
