Hyderabad: The Saroornagar police on Friday arrested three accused, namely, B Laxman (35), M Raghuma Reddy (36) and P Nagaraju (30), for attempting extortion and indulging in criminal intimidation.
According to police, they received a complaint from the complainant, G Srinivas, a Consultant Audiologist, stating that he used to arrange hearing machines to the patients in Apollo Hospital in Jubilee Hills.

Sensing an opportunity to make quick money, accused Laxman and Nagaraju colluded with each other and demanded money of Rs 15 lakh from the complainant for keeping mum on the matter. Demanding the amount, they threatened to inform the Apollo Hospital management, Income Tax department and spoil his career.
