A month after five recovery agents of a mobile loan app were arrested from Karnataka, the sessions court has granted them bail on the grounds that they have agreed to deposit Rs 96,000, the amount the complainant had paid them to avoid harassment.

The arrests were made on June 11 by Maharashtra cybercops who tracked a WhatsApp number of a vegetable seller from Buldhana that had been used by the five agents to make the alleged harassment calls. Earlier, a magistrate court had rejected their bail plea. The sessions court has granted the bail on a personal bond of Rs 25,000, said advocate Rajesh Khobragade, who represented the accused.
