A 22-year-old youth was killed in connection with an online loan offering companies through various applications on social media.
In the Indian city of Bengaluru, a young man who took a loan through online apps committed suicide after being fed up with the demands of repaying the loan. Before he died, the young man also left a letter addressed to his parents.
According to Indian media, a 22-year-old engineering student named Tejas had taken a loan through an online loan application, which the company harassed him for not returning.
After being harassed several times by the company, the young man committed suicide by hanging a noose around his neck in his house.
It is being told that the online application started blackmailing the young man for not repaying the loan and threatened that if he failed to repay the loan, the pictures stored in his mobile phone would go viral.
According to the police, the boy’s family said that he had taken some money as a loan from an online application which he was not repaying. He promised to pay the money in installments.
Despite this, the representatives of the mobile application started repeatedly visiting the young man’s house and threatening him. Three days before the death of the young man, his father requested the representatives of the application for more time to pay the loan. However, the representatives flatly refused.
Tejas was forced to take this extreme step after receiving several calls from the loan application representative on Tuesday.
Before committing suicide, the young man also left a note to his family, in which he wrote,” I am sorry for whatever I have done, I have no other choice, and I am in my name. Unable to pay other existing debts, this is my final decision, goodbye.”
It should be noted that a similar incident took place in Rawalpindi a few days ago, in which a person named Mahmood Masood committed suicide after taking a loan of 13,000 from an online company for non-payment.
