On Thursday, the Telangana Police arrested a woman & her son from Jubilee Hills for duping a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) of Rs 65 lakh.
The Jubilee Hills Police official said that "A lady named Malavika Devati, 44-years-old & her son Venkateswara Pranav Lalith Gopal Devati, 22-years-old, have been arrested for duping an NRI of Rs 65 lakh on the pretext of marriage".
"Venkateswara had created a fake profile of his mother on a marriage portal by the name of Keerthi Madhavaneni. A fictional story was written on the website saying that Keerthi is a rich doctor living in Nandagiri Hills, Jubilee Hills and have numerous properties. It also said that her father has died & her mother, Mahalakshmi Madhavaneni, is torturing Keerthi to transfer the properties in her name. However, if she gets married she will be able to keep the properties to herself," said Police, while speaking about their modus operandi.
A software engineer from California identified as Varun responded to the marriage profile.
Adding that the duo later fled with the money, the Police said that "During further communication between Varun & Keerthi, the latter asked for some money saying that she has to fight a legal battle against her mother. She told him that after the marriage he would be having legal right over her properties after marriage. Believing her story, Varun transferred Rs 65 lakh to the account numbers given by Keerthi".
Malavika Devati is involved in several cheating cases along with her husband & mother-in-law, said the Police.
They said that the family is into the business of duping NRIs as they are used to living a lavish lifestyle.
