The Hyderabad City Police’s central crime station has reportedly taken into custody joint director of Telangana State Police Academy B. Naveen Kumar, an alleged accused in a cheating case, here on Wednesday.
Earlier, the police, as per their remand report filed before a local court on December 23, listed Mr. Naveen Kumar as accused number two and absconding.
Along with accused number one Orsu Sambasiva Rao, 53, a businessman and accused number three Orsu Roopa Dimple, 50, an advocate, he was booked under charges of IPC Section 420 (Cheating), 406 (Criminal breach of trust), 467 (Forgery of valuable security), 468 (Forgery for purpose of cheating), and 471 (Using as genuine a forged document).

It was stated that Mr. Rao and his wife Ms. Dimple created a document with forged signature and gained money from Ms. Lal.
The complainant alleged that the accused persons had forged a rental agreement pertaining to a residential property in Jubilee Hills initially executed in 2014.
