Commissioner of Police, YVS Sudheendra, addressing a press conference here, said Ahmed, who was the kingpin of the gang, was also a real-estate broker. Due to low income from real estate business, he hatched a plan along with his associate Amjad to lure innocent people on the guise of providing them 2BHK flats and collecting money from them.

They then approached Raj Kumar Reddy, who was working as supervisor at an under construction site at Bandlaguda where the government was constructing 2BHK flats for beneficiaries. Both Ahmed and Munavar used to lure people saying that they can allocate flats to them if money ranging from Rs.50,000 to 1.70 lakh was paid to them.
