Hyderabad CP Cautions Parents on Rise 'Marriage-Related Fraud Cases'

Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar here on Monday cautioned about the scams that are taking place in Hyderabad in the name of marriage causing concern among parents. 

“It's not just in the name of love - some tricksters are even deceiving young people through relationships arranged by elders. Recently, complaints about such incidents have been pouring into Hyderabad's She Teams,” he said in a post on ‘X’.

“Girls, be careful! The danger lurking in the wedding veil!” he said. Explaining the modus operandi of the scamsters, Sajjanar said the accused would first go



through traditional marriage match-making, followed by an engagement. 

They get close to the youth with the false assurance that the wedding is confirmed. “It's going to be a marriage anyway... So what's the harm now?" they say with sweet-talking words, emotionally blackmailing them and, under pressure, physically exploiting them.”

“Once their desires are fulfilled, they reveal their true colors. They demand huge sums of money to proceed with the wedding, saying they'll only tie the knot if an additional dowry is given. Otherwise, they resort to threats of calling off the marriage.
