Sandeep would call them and persuade them that he and his friends would donate blood/plasma and he would collect the money, and after he received the money, he would not answer their calls.With this Sandeep duped many innocent people and their lives, exploiting their situations for earning easy money,” said G Venkateshwara Reddy, ACP, SZCT.
