A 33-year-old man has filed a complaint with the police alleging that he was extorted by loan sharks despite repaying the loan amount he had withdrawn through a number of apps.


According to police, the complainant is a resident of Pen, Raigad and works in a private company. A few months ago, he had withdrawn Rs 10,000 from an instant loan app and then from another loan app he took out Rs 24,000. Complainant had repaid both loans on time. However, last month he received a call from an unknown person who asked the complainant to refund the money. The scammers also shared the complainant’s phone list with him on WhatsApp and threatened him that they would call everyone in his contact list if he did not pay them the money. They also altered photos of some people from the man’s contact list and threatened to make those photos viral if the complainant refused to pay the money. On November 14, out of fear, the victim transferred Rs 18,900 to the scammers in six online transactions.


However, when the scammers demanded more and more money, the complainant went to the police and had a report filed. A case has been registered under Sections 351 (criminal intimidation), 318 (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and 66D (cheating by personation using computer resources) of the Information Technology Act. The complainant also shared details of the fraudulent lending apps and the contact details of the scammers with the police.
