The accused, identified as 36-year-old Syed Aleem, is a resident of Yakuthpura. Aleem’s occupation as a real estate businessman allegedly did not fulfill his lavish lifestyle, leading to him attempting extortion.
Aleem allegedly approached the owner of the newly constructed building and introduced himself as a local leader with important knowledge and networks in political circles and government officials in the region.
He later asked the owner to pay a sum of Rs 2 lakh, failing which the building would be demolished through Aleem’s sway and connections in the city.
Police apprehended Aleem soon after a case was filed under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS) pertaining to extortion (308), cheating (318), intentional insult with the intent to provoke a breach of peace (352), as well as attempting to commit offenses punishable by life imprisonment or other imprisonment (62).
The incident highlights the growing concern over fraudulent activities and the misuse of political influence in urban areas. Authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to the nearest police station.
