Mumbai A promising investigation into a loan app scam by the Andheri Government Railway Pollice (GRP), which took the trail from Delhi to China and then back to Kerela, has come to a standstill after the investigators found that the man owning the firm, that has a capital of ₹130 crore, is actually a differently-abled person with assets which consists of only four sheep.
In March, a woman received a threatening message from a loan recovery agent. Her cousin was even sent her morphed image. Andheri GRP had registered the case and tracked down the 19-year-old agent from Karnataka. After his arrest, the GRP formed a special team to unearth the larger loan app racket.
Based on the 19-year-old’s leads, the GRP officials arrested Sartaj Alam, a 45-year-old garments trader from Delhi, and his son, Shoeb Alam, 25. Sartaj claimed to be drawing a “salary” of ₹12,000 per day.
