“I am Kirni Bharath, resident of Bharath Nagar. My sister Mounika working as AEO in Khata village took out a loan through Snap It App. Since she was unable to pay, a company representative called her a loan default and texted all contacts on her phone. Worried about this, my sister had committed suicide by consuming pesticides. We took her first to the government hospital in Siddipet, then transferred to Gandhi hospital where she took her last breath. Please take action against those responsible for his death, ”family members said in a complaint to police. Police have registered a case and are investigating it.
