Man Held for Posing as Centre Govt Employee to Demand Rs 2 Cr Dowry in Hyderabad

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in Hyderabad for allegedly posing as a central government employee and attempting to extort a massive dowry. 

The accused, identified as Panasa Madhu Goud from Cheruvupalli village in Nalgonda district, had been residing in the Alkapuri area in search of livelihood. 

Unable to secure a job, he reportedly fabricated a fake identity card claiming to be a Grade-3 employee at the Food Corporation of India (FCI) in Charlapalli.

Using the



forged credentials, he convinced a family and entered into a marriage alliance with a young woman from Nalgonda district. He initially demanded Rs 2 crore as dowry, later settling for Rs 1.5 crore, and proceeded with the engagement. 

However, suspicion arose when he allegedly behaved inappropriately after inviting the woman home under the pretext of a pre-wedding shoot. 

The woman’s family conducted their own inquiry and discovered that he was unemployed and had created fake documents to mislead them.
