Trickster tries to extort money from Kamalakar
The Hindu
Sends him a fake warrant in the name of ED
An unidentified man tried to extort money from Minister for BC Welfare Gangula Kamalakar by sending him a fake warrant in the name of Enforcement Directorate (ED). The Minister personally tried to catch the trickster who had been speaking with him over the phone and chatting through WhatsApp for the past few days. With the Hyderabad Central Crime Station (CCS) sleuths registering a criminal case following a complaint from the ED authorities, the trickster went underground and stopped communicating with the Minister. The CCS officials are looking out for him based on telephone numbers he had used. They hope to catch the trickster soon. The person speaking Telugu with strong Telangana accent rang up the Minister from a landline number nearly three weeks ago claiming he was ED Joint Director calling from Delhi.
