Last Friday, police in Andhra Pradesh arrested several debt collectors for SKS and Spandana Spoohrty Financial, India's second-largest microlender, after a borrower alleged she was harassed over two loans totalling 1,300 dollars.

The police action followed more than 30 suicides in Andhra Pradesh blamed by politicians on aggressive debt recovery agents operating in the southern state, where many of India's biggest microfinance institutions are based.

After news of the suicides surfaced in mid-October, SKS said that 17 of the dead were among its borrowers, but rejected responsibility for the deaths.
