Hyderabad: One more Chinese national was arrested by the Rachakonda Police in connection with the ongoing investigation into illegal instant online loan apps on Wednesday. A native of Mumbai too was arrested, police said.

The arrests were based on the confession of the Chinese couple arrested earlier. Police said the questioning of Parusha Ram Lahu Takwe, director of Jia Liang Infotech Pvt Ltd, Pune and his wife Liang Tian Tian, and Aquib Shaik, an employee, had led them to Jian alias Mark (26), a Chinese national and Vivek Kumar (26), both associated with Ajaya Solutions Pvt. Ltd, run by Parusha Ram Lahu.

Police said Mark came to India in July 2019 on a business visa and joined as a representative on behalf of Chinese nationals Xu Nan, Xu Xinchang and Zhao Qiao, who are the directors of micro finance loan app companies.

“The suspects were operating a call centre at Pune for providing services to instant loan apps companies including Ajaya Solutions Pvt Ltd, Thane,” Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M. Bhagwat said.
