Doctor duped of ₹1.1 crore in matrimonial app fraud in Hyderabad
According to police, the doctor registered on a matrimonial application in November 2025 and matched with the accused. The two later began communicating on WhatsApp, during which the man assured her that he would travel to India soon.
A few days later, the complainant received a call from a woman claiming to be a customs officer at Delhi airport. The caller informed her that her fiancé had been detained for allegedly carrying foreign currency illegally.
Four months of sustained pressure
The complainant told police that she was pressured for nearly four months, from November 2025 to February 2026. The fraudsters demanded money on various pretexts, including payment of Goods and Services Tax (GST), income tax and visa renewal charges.
Believing the claims, the doctor transferred ₹1.1 crore in multiple transactions.
The cybercrime police have registered a case and are investigating the matter.
