Taking suo motu cognisance of media reports that one Avinash, belonging to Rajahmundry of East Godavari district, is doing a "mischief" by collecting lakhs of rupees from innocent persons by promising them jobs in government and attacking the affected persons who confronted him, APHRC asked the officials to file a report by April 6.
"When the person (Avinash) is doing mischief claiming to be the relative of Home Minister, the action of police in arresting and releasing him immediately is giving scope for suspicion," the APSHRC said.
The reports further said that Avinash "cheated" many persons by claiming himself to be the chairman of the International Human Rights Commission.
It is reported that Avinash also claimed to be holding the cabinet rank and moves in a posh car with a VIP beacon installed atop it and was in the process of cheating many educational institutions and NGOs by collecting huge amounts.
The reports further claimed that Avinash confined a Dalit family in their house, beat them up and filmed the incident which he used to show to those who confronted him.
Taking note of these reports, the APSHRC also issued notices to East Godavari district Collector and Superintendent of Police.
