The Film Nagar police have arrested 21-year-old BBA student Irfan Hussain for allegedly extorting money from a man by falsely promising to get him out of a police case. Irfan was produced before the court and sent to judicial remand.
According to police, last week, Film Nagar police detained a man for possession of ganja. Following this, Irfan along with his associates, Usman and Srinivas, approached the man’s father, promising to secure his son’s release for Rs 10,000.
The father paid the amount but later realized he had been cheated and filed a complaint with Film Nagar police. Based on the complaint, authorities arrested Irfan, while Usman and Srinivas remain absconding.
During interrogation, police learned that Irfan had been living with Usman for six years in a rented apartment in Masab Tank. Usman reportedly claimed to have political connections, and the duo regularly targeted vulnerable individuals with false promises, extorting money from them.
