Nallakunta: The Nallakunta police on Wednesday booked a case against Sudarshan, general secretary of Shiv Sena in Telangana and two others for extortion.

According to the police, Sudarshan, Adishri and Srinivas threatened a local resident N Satyanarayana Murthy, stating they will not allow him to renovate house because he did not obtain GHMC permission. The trio demanded Rs 5 lakh from the victim. They threatened if he does not pay, they will inform the GHMC officials and get the house demolished.
