Hyderabad: The Madannapet police have arrested an AIMIM worker for allegedly insulting an elderly woman and trying to extort money to permit her to construct a house.
The 68-year-old woman, who resides in Madannapet, contacted the Hyderabad Police Commissioner via WhatsApp after Mansoor Ahmed, a local AIMIM worker, allegedly threatened and demanded money to allow her to construct her house.
On November 12, Mansoor Ahmed went to the woman’s house and started using abusive and vulgar language towards her. He also obstructed the ongoing construction work and demanded money from her to allow her to continue the construction work. That’s not all, Mansoor allegedly insulted her in front of everyone and threatened her with dire consequences.
Vexed with the harassment of the AIMIM worker, the woman had approached the Hyderabad police Commissioner Sandeep Shandilya over his WhatsApp number with her grievance. According to the sources, the police commissioner made a discreet enquiry into the issue and directed the Madannapet police to take action against the person.
The Madannapet police on Thursday, November 16, registered a case under IPC section 384 (Extortion), 354 (Outraging modesty of a woman), 427 (mischief), 448 (house-trespass) and 504 (Intention breaking the public peace). “We have registered a case against Mansoor Ahmed and an investigation is underway,” said sub-inspector V P Saikanth of Madannapet police station.
The accused person was picked up this morning from his residence and detained.
