The loan app menace rages on as a 34-year-old man from Taloja, Navi Mumbai, has now gone missing after constant harassment at the hands of loan recovery agents. His family members—mother and sister—are getting rape threats while his photos were morphed and shared with his contacts. Some of the messages sent by the recovery agents also read that the borrower’s mother and sister were available for paid sex so that he could repay the loan.

The borrower, Suhas Jagdale, used to work as a delivery person and had been upset since the past few days. His sister told mid-day, “On Friday, a day before he went missing, he told me that he downloaded one app, following which he started getting messages asking him to repay a loan. He left on Saturday morning saying that he would return in two days. But he has not returned and his number is also switched off. We have registered a missing report with Taloja police.”
