Hyderabad: A case has been registered at the Saifabad Police Station against a man identified as Nikhil, who allegedly impersonated a police constable and created social media reels while wearing a police uniform.
According to police officials, Nikhil is accused of misleading the public by posing as a law enforcement officer and producing videos that suggested he had influence within government circles.
Authorities suspect that he may have even entered the Telangana Secretariat using a visitor pass, raising concerns about potential security lapses.
Investigators revealed that Nikhil, also known as Nikhil Yadav and believed to be a native of Gadwal, is currently absconding. Reports indicate that he may already be facing multiple cases in Andhra Pradesh. Police teams have been deployed to trace his whereabouts.
In one of the viral videos, Nikhil claimed that chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s security was “in his hands” and even offered to arrange meetings with the CM if people contacted him with valid reasons.
He also claimed that individuals from political parties such as the Bharat Rashtra Samithi and the Bharatiya Janata Party could approach him.
Further allegations suggest that on April 18, Nikhil recorded another reel during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Hyderabad, where he claimed to possess match tickets and reportedly sold one to a spectator.
