How did the issue surface?

There were a number of app users who were caught under the debt trap and had also committed suicide because of the burden of loans- also because the people working on these apps were mentally harassing the loan bearers as well.

The issue came to light when several cases of suicides were noticed. The suicides were majorly from the borrowers who took loans from these applications in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
