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.

Demanding the amount, they threatened to inform the Apollo Hospital management, Income Tax department and spoil his career.
