Meanwhile, the case came to light after a woman from Hyderabad responded to a loan advertisement on Instagram. The next day, one of the accused, Kila Pawan Kumar, introduced himself as an officer of Mudra Loan Services. He assured her that a loan of Rs 3 lakh had been sanctioned. He collected Aadhaar and PAN details while saying that there was no processing fee. He then collected a total of Rs 1,08,274 from her in the name of insurance, TDS and other charges. Later, when the victim said that she did not want the loan, he demanded more money in the name of a cancellation fee. Therefore, she approached the police.
