The police said that karthik, a graduate who has wanted to work in law enforcement since his college days, tried to pass the SI and constable tests but was unsuccessful. In hyderabad in 2016, he moved and first worked odd jobs before resorting to crime. He eventually intended to masquerade as a police or army officer and extort individuals. He pretended to be a member of the Special Operations Team in hyderabad and targeted people in isolated colonies, busy streets, and the wee hours of the morning, according to A. srinivas Rao, the DCP in charge in Madhapur.
He stole a car from the firm in 2017 while working as a cab driver for a private travel service in Sanathnagar. For that, he was detained and sent to jail. In Punjagutta, India, in 2018, he stole two automobiles from the owner of a software firm once more after being released on bail. He met an ex-Army officer named Bikkudar Das while doing this, and from their conversations, he learned important details regarding army ranks, uniforms, batches, and other things. Additionally, he bought a major's outfit for the PARASF regiment.
After that, he committed a number of crimes, including robbing a shopkeeper from banjara hills while pretending to be an officer of the Intelligence Wing in 2020 and extorting money from the owner of an ambulance business in RC Puram. Intriguingly, he opened a hospital in miyapur while pretending to be an army Colonel and charged the administration Rs. 1.3 lakh. In addition, he abducted a guy and stole Rs. 2 lakhs in KPHB from him.
He was then jailed in May 2022 under the Preventive Detention Act and recently freed. According to the police, karthik resumed his criminal activities after being freed from prison, robbing a sex worker in rajahmundry and assaulting a heroin dealer who was acting as a police officer. He just arrived in hyderabad, and after buying police-related outfits, handcuffs, a lathi, a gun pouch, and other items from a vendor in the old city, he began acting as a police inspector to intimidate individuals. He abducted an old guy in Gandhinagar and demanded money from him.
