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.

Based on this complaint, the Rajasthan Police have traced the accused and arrived here in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. He was found to be a resident of the Srinagar area, under the Gajuwaka Police Station limits. The accused was immediately taken into custody and taken to Rajasthan on a transit warrant.
