In an appalling incident, a 23-year-old techie from Hyderabad was held for allegedly forging the signature of Infosys foundation chief Sudha Murthy.
According to the media reports, L Sayikrishna forged the signature of Sudha Murthy to convince Telugu superstar Vijay Devarakonda to become the brand ambassador for his mobile application brand as he thought it was easy to convince the actor by using the Infosys foundation chief’s name.
The arrest of Laveti Sai Krishna alias Krishna ML, a resident of Nidamanuru, Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, comes a year after the case was registered. Jayanagar police registered a case against Krishna on February 26, 2019, based on a complaint filed by Lt Col (retd) M Ramesh, representative of Infosys Foundation.
The complaint was filed after the forged letter didn’t reach Devarakonda and came back to Infosys Foundation instead.
After the foundation lodged a complaint with the police, they successfully nabbed Sayikrishna
As per the complaint, Krishna created a fake letterhead in the name of Sudha Murty and wrote to Devarakonda, asking him to become the brand ambassador/ partner for his mobile app. Krishna sent it through SpeedPost mentioning the sender’s address as Infosys Foundation. Krishna’s game was up when the letter, which wasn’t delivered to Devarakonda, came back to Infosys Foundation.
