Unable To Repay Loan, Engineering Student Dies By Suicide

Bengaluru: A 22-year-old engineering college student allegedly died by suicide here after agents of a Chinese money lending app threatened to make public his intimate photographs on his mobile phone, for not repaying the loan, PTI reported.

Police told PTI that Tejas hanged himself with a stole at their Jalahalli residence on Tuesday.

The victim had borrowed money for his friend, who was supposed to pay the EMI which he did not, family members said.

It is alleged that the loan recovery agents of the application had reached his house and threatened him. They were even making threat calls.
