Bengaluru, Mar 16: A 23-year-old mobile app developer was arrested on Saturday for allegedly forging the signature of Infosys Foundation chairperson Sudha Murty to rope in Telugu actor Vijay Devarakonda as an app’s ambassador.
The arrest of Laveti Sai Krishna alias Krishna ML, a resident of Hyderabad, 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.
App developer is a B.Pharma holder
“We conducted an investigation and traced the app designer. We caught him and based on information provided by him, we learnt that Krishna was the brain behind the forged signature,” a senior police officer said.
Krishna confessed that he developed a mobile app — ‘Offer nearby’ — and planned to launch it in a big way. He wanted Telugu actor Vijay Devarakonda to be the app’s brand ambassador and tried contacting him. Krishna, however, was unable to meet Vijay.
Krishna then thought he could easily reach the actor if he sent a recommendation letter in the name of Sudha Murty.
“He forged the letterhead of Infosys Foundation and Sudha Murty’s signature. We are verifying his antecedents to know if he committed any other offence earlier,” said Rohini Sepat-Katoch, DCP (south). Rohini said Krishna is a B.Pharma holder and worked with an advertisement firm. Later, he planned to develop an app that provides details of offers for retail customers. He floated Laveti Technologies, and with help from a friend, developed ‘Offer nearby’.
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.

Islam says Suicide is an unforgivable SIN...
ALLAH gave us this LIFE, and QURAN is the manual to understand what is LIFE...
Non-Muslims should read the QURAN (U can check online thequranproject) to understand better, How ALLAH created Life and death and What is the purpose of this life...
QURAN is not just for the Muslims... it is a GUIDANCE from our CREATOR To the whole of UNiverse... Please look into it... U will be enlightened.
Those who are HONEST in looking for the CREATOR... ALLAH will Guide them... thats the trust we should have.... God is GREAT (ALLAHU AKBAR)
NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI... there is no image of God....
she needs beef sukka
IS this not enough for HINDU brothers & Sisters to stay far away from the real Killers of our society. if U dont use your intellect and recognize the real culprits in our society... We will all dome our society with the liars and killers in disguise.
Whatever ways U want to block , ISLAM will grow with Zakir naik or Without HIM...
Enemies of ISLAM plan, But ALLAH has a plan...
Everything happens with the will of ALLAH. ALLAH's plan will Succeed..
Non Muslim should use their God given intellect to VERIFY what wrong thing Dr. Zakir naik says... If he is bringing near to the one LORD ALLAH to U guys then accept it (Even vedas says NA tasya pratima Asti - There is no image of GOD) Dont U think as Human beings are the smartest creation of ALLAH who can analyse and reason when they use their INTELLECT.
Why dont U guys think and PONDER on the lives we were created by ALLAH... Y We only believe the LIARS when we know the authorities caught lying many times...
Wake up guys... and PONDER on what ZAKIR NAIK says and Stop believing whatever LIARS want U to believe.
