According to the Edex Live report, the victim came in contact with the fraudster in 2021, when Vijaykumar promised him to get his daughter admitted to a private medical college.

When interrogation began, it was found that this was not the first time Vijaykumar had cheated many people earlier and two cases were already registered against him in Nellore district. In this regard, he was also arrested in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, January 7 and sent to judicial remand on Wednesday, January 8.
