Duo arrested for duping people in govt. double bedroom housing scam
Two individuals, who posed as political insiders and issued fake housing allotment letters, conning several citizens promising allotments under the Telangana Government's Double Bedroom Housing Scheme, were arrested by the Jeedimetla police on Saturday, July 26. The accused identified as G. Sridhar and Pradeep Prasad were arrested in the Suchitra area. Police seized several items including fake allotment letters, a car, laptop, desktop computer, webcam, printer, scanner, and two mobile phones. The accused are being produced before court, and further investigation is underway. A case was booked by the Jeedimetla police on July 23 following a complaint by K. Malleshwari, who reported being defrauded by G. Sridhar. Sridhar allegedly posed as a BRS party worker and claimed close links with the Quthbullapur MLA, showing photographs of him with the political leaders. He convinced victims to pay processing and registration fees and other expenses. In collaboration with Pradeep Prasad, a Jio employee, Sridhar fabricated fake allotment letters. The forged documents were then handed over to victims as original allotments. However, no such benefits were ever delivered. The duo has been remanded to judicial custody. Earlier on July 23, the Jeedimetla police arrested Bodimi Shetty Haribabu, an assistant at the Quthbullapur MLA Camp Office for allegedly duping 84 people by promising them double-bedroom houses. The complainant had alleged that Haribabu collected ₹1 lakh from him and 83 others with an assurance of securing a government-allocated 2-BHK house, however, neither the house was allotted nor the money returned.
