Hyderabad: The police arrested a 27-year-old advocate for allegedly lodging a false complaint stating that his SUV was stolen to avoid repaying a loan to a finance firm. Police said Syed Rahamatullah had purchased a second-hand SUV (AP03 AZ 0001) three years ago and was paying the EMI for some time to Axis Bank, Ranigunj. ACP T.

Police said he did this to avoid repaying Clix Finance and to claim insurance. Inspector V. Lachiram of the CCS-DD raided the house, recovered the SUV and arrested Rahamatullah.
