Concerns about claimed harassment and money demands from automobile owners following the delivery of new vehicles, during house-warming ceremonies, and other events have apparently been voiced by a number of people in recent days.
Anyone detected bothering or disturbing the public for financial gain will face severe legal repercussions, according to Hyderabad police. Police said that while it is not illegal to take money that individuals willingly contribute, it is unacceptable to coerce or harass anyone into giving money.
