Hyderabad Police Commissioner, Anjani Kumar, said Sudhakar observed the functioning of government officials and in order to maintain a luxurious lifestyle, started targeting innocent persons.

“Sudhakar along with his associates would convince the gullible victims that they were working as personal assistant to various high level government officials and could help them in availing government benefits.
