After detaining the driver of the Porsche, he was identified as Mallela Saikiran from the Mansoorabad area of Hyderabad. It was reported that previously Saikiran was also arrested for stealing luxury cars and driving them until they ran out of fuel. It was stated that he would abandon the stolen vehicles after taking joy rides in them. He was previously booked by Banjara Hills police for similar high-end car thefts.

S Veera Shekar, Detective Inspector of Jubilee Hills, stated, “At the time of stealing the Porsche in the hotel, Kiran came on his bike and parked it close to the Porsche. He saw that the car key was inside the vehicle, and the door was unlocked. He took advantage of this and took away the car.”

Random extraordinary claims

Upon taking Saikiran into custody, it was reported by the police authorities that he began making extraordinary claims. Saikiran, under the custody of Hyderabad police, stated that he had high-level connections with the chairman of Jio Infocomm, Akash Ambani, a state cabinet minister, and even Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan. He added that Hyderabad minister KT Rama Rao had instructed him to steal producer Dil Raju’s son-in-law’s Porsche Cayman sports car.

Soon after all of this fiasco, the Hyderabad police department contacted Saikiran’s family members. It was then confirmed by his close relatives that he already had a criminal history and revealed that he was not mentally ill but was, in fact, receiving treatment at the Bright Life Foundation. Now at the moment, what punishment Saikiran has been given is unknown, but this incident will not be taken casually and will be apprehended.
