Man Pretending To Be CM Revanth's Aide Held For Gold Fraud

Attapur Police on Friday arrested Surya Kumar, popularly known as ‘Gold Man’, for allegedly duping people by promising to supply imported gold at cheaper rates. 

Surya allegedly claimed to be a close aide of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar to gain the victims’ trust. 

He allegedly collected lakhs of rupees from customers, promising imported gold at lower prices. Victims alleged that despite waiting



for months after payment, they did not receive the gold. When questioned about the delay and asked for their money back, Surya reportedly threatened and intimidated them using the Commissioner's name. 

Later, when they saw videos of Surya wearing fake gold and the IT department's scanner against him, they realised they had been cheated. Several victims approached the Attapur Police and lodged complaints.Based on the complaints, the police registered a case and arrested Surya.
