As the police have been unable to trace the masterminds behind mobile loan apps who operate from other countries, they have begun picking up their associates in India.

Last week, the Kurar police caught two such accused from two other states and it has been revealed that they were just beneficiaries in the fraud, as the money was deposited in their bank accounts. On April 12, the Kurar police also caught one Liyakat Ali Shaukat Ali, 30, from Delhi in another loan app case.
