Unable to bear the harassment of online loan app organisers, a twenty-four-year-old youth committed suicide at his home in Pasdampadu in the city on Thursday night.
Victims, L. Manikanth, an employee in a petrol bunk, took a loan of ₹13,000 from an online loan app and paid ₹27,000. But, the organizers were reportedly harassing her for giving her more money.
