Puducherry cybercrime police have dismantled a network involved in extorting money from individuals using fraudulent loan apps. The operation uncovered multiple illegal loan platforms that used harassment and threats to extract repayments.
Victims were coerced into paying exorbitant sums, often under duress. The police have urged citizens to exercise caution while using online loan services and report suspicious activities. The crackdown serves as a reminder of the risks of unverified digital platforms.
