According to the police, a similar case was booked against him in 2017 in Madhapur.  

To meet his expenses, he devised a plan targeting customers who booked call girls at star hotels in Hyderabad.  Posing as a police officer, he would display a police ID card on his mobile phone, which he had obtained from a social media group.  He then threatened these customers with legal action and public exposure unless they paid him money.

In February 2023, Sunny executed his plan at a star hotel in Secunderabad.  Approaching a victim, he introduced himself as a police officer, displaying the ID card photo on his mobile. 

“He led the victim to the hotel’s terrace, where he blackmailed him, claiming to possess nude videos and threatening to expose them to the victim’s family.  Demanding Rs. 5 lakhs, he collected the amount from the victim and also snatched a gold chain, said S. Reshmi Perumal, DCP Task Force.
