Telangana cops mull travel ban on it grids CEO, serve notice on Google Play

HYDERABAD: The Cyberabad Police, which is investigating alleged data theft by IT Grids India Private Ltd through TDP app Seva Mitra, is likely to issue look out circulars (LOC) to all airports in the country to prevent the company’s CEO Ashok Dakavaram from taking off. The police on Tuesday sent notice to Google Play Store for not taking down Seva Mitra and asked it to submit details of the app, just a day after it served a notice on Amazon Web Services in connection with the case. The app was first available on Google Play Store on June 8, 2008. Both the companies are yet to respond to the notices.

Meanwhile, the police are also considering moving court to seek an arrest warrant against the IT Grids India CEO. “His passport details are being obtained and soon LOC will be issued,” a senior official investigating the case said.
