On Saturday, 30 April 2022, a team of police from Bhiwadi in Rajasthan arrested a local of Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam, for allegedly organizing cybercrime. The accused was identified as P Vishnu Murthy alias Sagar, a 28-year-old computer engineer. As per the police reports, the accused has tried to cheat and blackmail political leaders from Rajasthan, claiming himself as a close associate of the Chief Minister. It was said that Sagar has demanded a sum of Rs 20 lakh from Tijara MLA Sandeep Kumar through call.
