A commando from the National Security Guard was harassed by recovery agents after he borrowed money through a mobile app. But the harassers could not fathom they were troubling the member of an elite force. After tolerating the nuisance for a few days, the 29-year-old commando complained to his department, which tracked down the agents in no time. He said such cases should be handed over to NSG for a quick resolution.

The complainant, a Powai resident, applied for a loan last month. “I was in need of money and I stalled an instant loan app from Google Play Store. On May 2, I applied for a loan of Rs 3,000, but received only Rs 1,900 in my account. After a few days, I started receiving calls and messages to repay the loan and I paid the entire amount which was around Rs 7200, on the app’s UPI ID. However, I still got many calls saying that my loan was pending and I had to clear it,” the commando told mid-day.
