Hyderabad:
Facing relentless harassment after getting a loan of Rs 2,000 through an instant loan app, a 27-year-old died by suicide in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam just 47 days after getting married.
Police officials said Narendra, who catches fish for a living, could not go fishing a few months ago due to adverse weather conditions and decided to take a loan of Rs 2,000 through an instant loan app to help him out. They said that Narendra managed to repay the principal amount but was hounded by people from the loan company, who wanted him to pay a large amount as interest.
When he said he couldn't pay, people from the company allegedly harassed and abused him. They also blackmailed him and his wife, whom he married on October 20, by altering a nude photo and sharing it with his friends on WhatsApp.
The officials said Narendra found it difficult to confide in anyone about the harassment and this led to him becoming depressed. Unable to bear the intimidation and trauma any longer, Narendra hanged himself on Saturday.
His family members have filed complaints with the police commissioner and the district collector.
