A builder from Udhagamandalam has submitted a complaint to the Nilgiris district Superintendent of Police and the District Collector claiming some persons, who introduced themselves as “journalists”, were demanding ₹2 lakh in cash for not reporting on an alleged building violation.
M. Mahesh, who is constructing 15 buildings across Udhagamandalam, staged a protest outside the Collector’s office on Wednesday demanding action against the men.
Police said they were looking into the allegations made against the men.
