How Chinese loan apps make money from blackmail in India | Investigations | BBC News India

Instant loan apps promise easy money. Millions of Indians have taken the cash, but many have found themselves trapped in a nightmare of blackmail, extortion, and abuse.

This BBC documentary investigation can reveal that, in the last three years, more than 60 Indians have taken their own lives after being threatened or humiliated by loan apps.

But how does the scam work? Are Chinese investors behind the abuse of Indian customers? And who’s profiting from this misery?

BBC Eye goes undercover to take you inside the loan app scam—and to expose the people making money from misery, fear, and shame.
