Narsingi police on Tuesday said that they have apprehended a head constable accused of cheating people of their money to the tune of over ₹ 1.5 crore, on the pretext of providing government jobs.
The accused has been identified as Boya Shaik Shavali (42), a resident of Himagirinagar Colony, Hydershakote village. He is a native of Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh.
According to the police, the accused used to approach those looking for a government job, and claimed that he is close to the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. He was formerly posted in the Intelligence Security Wing of Andhra Pradesh, and used to show photos in which he is seen standing near chief ministers published by the media, to his victims. By means of this, he convinced his victims of his proximity to such politicians.

KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshman on Friday said that petitioner H. Ramamurthy had manufactured ‘fake documents’ and submitted these to the Raj Bhavan seeking sanction for prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for providing “deemed extension” for C-category mines to eight mining companies in alleged violation of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 2015.
