Kozhikode police have arrested T. Nishad from Kondotty in Malappuram district on charges of extortion and impersonation.
Kozhikode police officials apprehended T. Nishad while he was in Kondotty, a town in Malappuram district, linking him to a series of extortion and impersonation offences. The arrest was carried out after investigators gathered sufficient evidence to identify the suspect as a key figure in the alleged crimes.
Authorities said Nishad is accused of demanding money by falsely representing himself as an official and using that position to extract funds from victims. The police have also linked him to cases where he allegedly assumed the identities of other individuals to facilitate the extortion.
The suspect has been taken into custody and will be presented before the local magistrate for further legal proceedings. Police continue to probe the network behind the scheme and have urged anyone with additional information to come forward.
The operation underscores the ongoing efforts of Kerala law‑enforcement agencies to curb financial fraud and protect citizens from deceptive practices.
