Hyderabad: The Central Crime Station (CCS) has arrested an alleged fraudster accused of cheating people by promising to arrange bank loans, police said on Saturday, August 15.
The accused, 34-year-old Nunavath Yugandhar, is allegedly involved in over 20 cases in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and has had a criminal record since 2016.
Yugandhar allegedly promised financial assistance of Rs. 60 lakh to the complainant and executed the sale deed along with an MoU stating that he would not sell the property.
