You are expecring more from this govt which they are not capable of. Unless its opposition party or its about wining election they wont take any action..
It's funny that after all this you still believe the government has nothing to do with it. I am willing to bet most politicians in India has some benefit out of this

Fall for BBC selective narrative building ? 😂😂😂 More dangerous and serious crime and scams are happening across the world including west which individuals are reporting.. The BBC will always try to target selective countries only by bringing only negative stroies from those countries. These call center scam stories often comes on local media.. periodic actions keep happening against them. BBC itself is the most deadly scam in the world from tax evasion, money laundering to propaganda and narrtive building in name of journalism.😂😂😂 Well those are saying that Indian media are not reporting these are probably are completely unaware of facts..😂😂😂 These stories keeps on comming in media. The point is that more dangerous crimes and scam happen in every part of the world including western world but BBC would only focus to traget certain countries to bring only negative stories from...that country.

BBC needs to expose the rape against women and girls by Hindu males. We need this to take the world stage. On Feb. 23, 2016, an Indian woman, within hours of giving birth by C-section, was raped in a hospital near New Delhi. Some in India took consolation in the fact that at least she was not, like Nirbhaya-the 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern-beaten up after being raped. A few days later, on March 8, 2016, on Women’s Day, a 15-year-old girl was raped and set on fire. Indeed, Amnesty International reports that authorities have not effectively implemented new laws on crimes against women. The majority of rape cases still go unreported. In Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India, the problem, instead of abating, has become worse: 2011 24,206 (reported rapes per year in India)2012 24,9232013 33,7072014 37,000😮
When being brave is the only option, Kudos to this lady for coming out openly so that others realize how deep does this rabbit hole goes..well done to team BBC🎉
My friend was abused and repeatedly told no one would believe her if she told anyone and tortured her. Please don’t believe a word they say. Your loved ones will always believe you and take your side. Stay strong and tell your most reliable friends or family if you’re in trouble. The more you stay silent the worse it gets.
I was one of the loan takers long ago and they were all legally done. In spite of it being legal, they call you so many times and annoy you. I'm not saying they used bad language but the fact that they call you and keep reminding you everyday that you owe someone money makes you feel disgusted about yourself. I can only imagine in these scenarios how much pressure a person must have gone through that made them end their own life. That 26 year old girl's story just broke my heart 😢 Moral of the story, live on the streets if you have to, eat garbage if you got to, but never borrow money from anyone.
@18:34 The father of 24 year old girl Mounika is addressing her as "Mounika garu" and her name under photo reads the same. This is a respectful way of addressing someone in Telugu language. It breaks my heart to see a father with such a deep reverence for her daughter and her personality had to go through this tough time of losing only child. May a ray of light bring strength to family in some form.
What bbc doesnt mention is these loan scammers charge 100% interest per week. Like if you take 100$ and then in the second month you have to pay 400$. Some people paid as much as 1500$ on a mere 100$ loan.
It resurfaced my trauma , I have experienced everything shown in this documentary. Third party RECOVERY AGENTS still call my family members and sometimes they call me too.but luckily my lawyer friends made me aware about laws and i understood my rights and RBI guidelines and with that awareness I can face these criminals and tell them what is right what is wrong. That trauma still haunts me.They threatened me ,my brother,my relatives and many of my known people.I guess it's just a start to crack the outer layer of this system because in reality there are many layers we need to know about. Thanks to the entire team.🙏 Special thanks to the brave Reporter for raising the voice against these Sharks. I hope our law and police help us on time so that we can prevent suicide and trauma disorders people face after such experiences.
Bravo, *Apexbureauservice* ! I'm so glad you're out there fighting these scumbags. We must do everything in our power to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers. You're a true hero, my brother!
I want this video dubbed in Marathi, so that it can be shared with my family members. In fact, it should be dubbed in all Indian languages to spread the awareness
Such an eye opener and Bone chilling documentary. Hopefully people get to see this amazing edited documentary and learn a valuable life lesson. Thanks BBC for all the hard work.
Kudos to the BBC and entire team behind this...our authorities should take legal action against these scammers instead of fighting with each other ...apart from the scam if you see how this call centres are using our youth and destroying there ethics and morale to get advantage for themselves...there is very less job opportunity for our fresh graduates in india and they end up joining these call centres for 8k to 10k rupees per month...my prayers and thoughts goes to all victims who had to face this...please don't loose your hope....we will fight this together...
With so many other videos , this Video from BBC is really an eye opener and applaud to the lady who risked her life in exposing such a big scam and who are all behind it. These loan apps are really a termite to our society and it always targets needy people and eventually getting harassed , they guys should be punished.
What has Modi got to do with it.Perhaps you're the British stooge planning to destroy India from within.Perhaps you pine for the days to be a coolie of your white sahibs
Thank you for honest investigative journalism Poonam! What also bothers me is the permanent irreversible damage to the moral fibre of the country. All young people who work in these call centres are morally damaged forever. My heart breaks for all the lives lost and the families and friends impacted by their deaths. If you are stuck in this kind of an abyss, speak to someone you trust and ask for help. Turn to people whom you can meet, talk in-person, come out of the apps and the virtual world.
Now THAT's Redemption! Some people wake up late, but they are truly horrified and remoseful. Thankyou Rohan. Maybe someone one day will look at you as example to stop their wrong doings.
Kudos to 'Rohan' for speaking up. Other call center employees must realize what they do literally destroys the life of others and get out of this dirty business.

Someone who had been trapped and coming out of it was an mental torture. Thanks BBC, i can finally share to my cousins & family what i actually went through. 😢❤
You can Always share, especially with family! Never suffer alone. I was surprised how many people in the video didn’t go to their family for help. One girl would rather kill her grandmother, instead of just informing her of her struggles and asking for the jewelry or any help. Im sure her family would have helped her. What went through her mind to kill her? I have been in so many tough situations. Sure I might have been too scared to call my parents, but I would call an aunty or a friend and eventually my parents. That’s what family is for.
People are scarier than any ghosts. My heart goes to all the victims and their family. No one deserves this kind of life 💔 Thank you BBC for this video. The abuses were so disturbing yet eye opener for me about this cruel world🙏
I came across many victims when I had been working with the police , it was just like people running to the Emergency room at a hospital for the immediate rescue of their life , their emotions were scattered , most sunk , many still trembling , and some almost ready to commit suicide and came across some poor who committed suicide . .... Great work done by you , I have been working out on the awareness side .
Poor victims The mental trauma they must have faced is just unimaginable Truly my heart goes to those people who have suffered in the hands for loan demons 😢
I will remain deeply indebted to BBC for this investigative documentary, thanks a lot. Please keep up your efforts on working and highlighting such issues. They have certainly saved many a lives. The indian system can do much more in banning and bringing those responsible to justice, but as we all know for sure they may be the foundation and the spring board from which these apps may be active and booming. Thanks again. Keep it up. Well done.
This documentary is a master piece in modern history. Philippines has same problem regarding in that online shaming of loan app but i think India got a worst affect. Kudos to the investigator's informant he has a heart for the poor people.
Google is not checking these apps as they should. Apps like this should not be allowed on Google. …. they should not be able to download details of address books or photos.
When you install any app, Android let's you pick the permissions given. If a random app asking you to give your contact access, you should use your brain and deny it. But people don't really care and 99% of people are technologically very illiterate even today.

Kudos for this report. Recently I heard multiple suicides in kerala with same traps . the worst part was they kept sharing the morphed pics even after victim’s funeral. Another terrible part is they all borrowed smaller amounts from 50 k to few lakhs and in return they had to kill themselves.
As a journalist...all I can say is SUPERB JOB ❤ Your story has aptly exposed the lending industry of India. Such tactics are also used by some very large corporations 😢😢too
I was brought to tears looking at her cry. The Indian government needs to provide security to its citizens and everyone else. Brilliant minds are using their knowledge for wickedness. It is scary how some people sleep at night, imagining they have ruined someone else's life. What a world!
A heart-breaking story indeed... A hard luck for the unfortunate victims who fell unknowingly to this evil trap. Nevertheless, be strong! One day the truth and justice will prevail. ❤❤ Thank you for the excellent news 🙏
Bajaj finance is also one of them. My friend was posted in an island for a year. She could not pay for 4-5months EMI and the Bajaj finance company kept calling her everyday and threatened to send people to raid her home. They called her contacts and spoke to them and tried to shame her. But after she made the payment & she wrote a letter to the company & they pretended to be not aware. But the man named Ajay who harassed her was an execute manager of the branch. Please dont take loan from cooperate/ pvt companies. They are run by evil people who make fortune out of the miseries of people.

Indian government should take stern action against these financial fraudsters, if they are considerate of the well being of Indian citizens...
What Indian government ? They are andhbhakts who may be the real organisers of these loan apps .
You are expecring more from this govt which they are not capable of. Unless its opposition party or its about wining election they wont take any action..
It's funny that after all this you still believe the government has nothing to do with it. I am willing to bet most politicians in India has some benefit out of this
@@seeker334 you're right expect an ED raid at BBC soon😅
They have already !! Read news - it’s been months
Hindustan times would not do such reporting, well done BBC
They only focus on Hindu Muslim
After viewing this documentary, I am thinking if a journalist or a group of journalists can do such a detailed dig up of wrongs with the citizens of a country... What and How much more can the government agencies could.. should and would be doing to set things right !
Kudos to the journalists who exposed the underbelly of such scams !
Have you seen the Indian police? As soon as they get recruited into government jobs, they seem to believe their lives are all set, start slacking, and stop caring about their physical fitness. They look and act more like a fat and tyrannical mafia boss than a police.
Be aware that some "investigative journalism" had been found to be "deliberate" too.
Many apps are still running on playstore sadly
the government is involved in such kind of activities as they get incentives from them
Yo, du3btuck! The government has already banned a lot of these apps. Even popular ones were shown the door. Before posting such comments, at least read an article or two 🤦
Same thing was happening in kenya🇰🇪. Predatory loan apps were a menace until the government took the initiative to ban most of them.
Yes, this is now happening in Kenya!
@@AlbertNTipsternot anymore,the government has put a data protection law and sent out a warning to all and any lenders who use borrower details to harass them and their contacts. 1 person has already been awarded 1.2million shillings by rhe court after reporting.

@@anonymoussaitama725 there r lot of scamsters and scam apps that show your debt uncleared even after you paid with interest and everything. Few other apps immediately deposit money as loan just after a session of debt cleared.

India must shut down all call centres. Call centres are a curse.
Why all call Centers? There are many genuine one.
Fall for BBC selective narrative building ? 😂😂😂
More dangerous and serious crime and scams are happening across the world including west which individuals are reporting..
The BBC will always try to target selective countries only by bringing only negative stroies from those countries.
These call center scam stories often comes on local media.. periodic actions keep happening against them.
BBC itself is the most deadly scam in the world from tax evasion, money laundering to propaganda and narrtive building in name of journalism.😂😂😂
Well those are saying that Indian media are not reporting these are probably are completely unaware of facts..😂😂😂 These stories keeps on comming in media.

BBC should expose more unrecorded crime in the society
BBC needs to expose the rape against women and girls by Hindu males. We need this to take the world stage.
On Feb. 23, 2016, an Indian woman, within hours of giving birth by C-section, was raped in a hospital near New Delhi. Some in India took consolation in the fact that at least she was not, like Nirbhaya-the 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern-beaten up after being raped.
A few days later, on March 8, 2016, on Women’s Day, a 15-year-old girl was raped and set on fire.
Indeed, Amnesty International reports that authorities have not effectively implemented new laws on crimes against women. The majority of rape cases still go unreported. In Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India, the problem, instead of abating, has become worse:
2011 24,206 (reported rapes per year in India)2012 24,9232013 33,7072014 37,000😮
Great job done

Haha, BBC making fake accounts posting the same fake comments over and over and then giving them thumbs up. BBC is GARBAGE.

The more you stay silent the worse it gets.
Thank you BBC and Ms Aggarwal for the awareness.
I was one of the loan takers long ago and they were all legally done. In spite of it being legal, they call you so many times and annoy you. I'm not saying they used bad language but the fact that they call you and keep reminding you everyday that you owe someone money makes you feel disgusted about yourself. I can only imagine in these scenarios how much pressure a person must have gone through that made them end their own life. That 26 year old girl's story just broke my heart 😢 Moral of the story, live on the streets if you have to, eat garbage if you got to, but never borrow money from anyone.
You can borrow from legit organisations specially government organisations
Nobody borrows money for fun. Dire conditions force them.
@18:34 The father of 24 year old girl Mounika is addressing her as "Mounika garu" and her name under photo reads the same. This is a respectful way of addressing someone in Telugu language. It breaks my heart to see a father with such a deep reverence for her daughter and her personality had to go through this tough time of losing only child. May a ray of light bring strength to family in some form.
Did you see he touched the photo as we pray?. This is heart breaking .
It broke my heart. Imagine losing your innocent child to this cruel world and not being able to do anything.
She is government employee...
Thank you BBC for exposing these scammers
What bbc doesnt mention is these loan scammers charge 100% interest per week. Like if you take 100$ and then in the second month you have to pay 400$. Some people paid as much as 1500$ on a mere 100$ loan.

In the U.S., collection agencies must operate under certain regulations. For example, they cannot use abusive language, cannot call at night and so on. India should do something similar.
These are not legal lending agencies. These entities are completely illegal.
These are not legal companies. So they have no regulations

These are illegal companies that do not follow RBI guidelines
No one follows any law in India unless media starts covering it and it builds up pressure on politicians and police to take some strong action.
Its really brave to show the real scam of loan apps. I suggest Bollywood to make a movie on this topic with Big actors, so it will make awareness in the country. (South movies often does this to aware people)

You can Always share, especially with family! Never suffer alone. I was surprised how many people in the video didn’t go to their family for help. One girl would rather kill her grandmother, instead of just informing her of her struggles and asking for the jewelry or any help. Im sure her family would have helped her.

This documentary is a master piece in modern history. Philippines has same problem regarding in that online shaming of loan app but i think India got a worst affect. Kudos to the investigator's informant he has a heart for the poor people.
Google is not checking these apps as they should. Apps like this should not be allowed on Google. …. they should not be able to download details of address books or photos.
When you install any app, Android let's you pick the permissions given.
If a random app asking you to give your contact access, you should use your brain and deny it. But people don't really care and 99% of people are technologically very illiterate even today.
This is the most important point
The problem is you allowing your privacy to the apps be very careful..go to settings and secure your privacy
