The Hyderabad police arrested a man who posed himself as an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officer and tried to extort money from a private school, the police said.
The man named Hanumanth Rao tried to extort Rs 1.5 crore from a private school in Chanda Nagar Police Station limits.
Rao was arrested following a complaint filed by the school authorities.
According to the police, a case has been registered in the matter under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the accused has been sent to judicial remand.

As per information, the man played all the drama to impress a girl into marrying him.
In a similar incident, a 26-year-old man, Ashish Kumar, was arrested for allegedly posing as a police officer and extorting money from a 19-year-old man in north-east Delhi's Jyoti Nagar.
