A 25-year-old man was arrested by Hyderabad police Monday on charges of cheating COVID-19 patients after luring them with assurances to donate plasma and also to arrange anti-viral emergency drugs. The police suspected that the accused, Sandeep Reddy, a resident of Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh, had cheated over 200 persons in this manner.

As he observed a huge demand for plasma donors and also anti-viral drugs, he started looking out for his gullible victims on social networking platforms and started contacting them over the phone. He would introduce himself as someone who recovered from COVID-19 and willing to donate plasma. In certain cases, he introduced himself as a seller of antiviral drugs, the police said.IE
