Hyderabad Police Arrest Three for Posing as Vigilance Officers to Extort LPG Delivery Worker

Overview

• Filmnagar police arrested three men who, investigators say, posed as Civil Supplies vigilance staff and coerced an LPG delivery worker in Hyderabad.
• The men stopped the worker during his route, accused him of overcharging and black‑market sales, and threatened to get him fired unless he paid.
• One account says the trio forced a ₹50,000 UPI transfer after demanding ₹60,000, while another report cites a ₹2 lakh demand with ₹23,000 later recovered and the rest passed to an absconder.
• CCTV footage and a complaint from the worker’s employer led police to the suspects, identified by name in reports that variously describe them as website reporters or a driver.
• The case shows how fake official roles are used to pressure last‑mile workers, and police say they are still tracking the missing money and a fourth person.
