Another Hyderabad Techie Files Complaint For Rs 1 Crore Matrimony Fraud By Con Woman

Malavika Devati  who was recently arrested by the Jubilee Hills police along with her son Gopal Devati, for cheating an NRI software engineer to a tune of Rs 65 Lakh, had also cheated another software engineer from Kukatpally Housing Board (KPHB) to the tune of Rs 1 crore (INR 10m). The incident came to light when the victim approached the police on Monday.

The 44-year-old woman, who allegedly defrauded the US-based NRI on the pretext of marriage earlier, has a second such complaint against her within a week of her arrest. Another city-based IT professional has lodged a complaint with the KPHB Police accusing Malavika of duping him of over Rs 1 crore via matrimony fraud.

The software engineer in his complaint said that he came in contact with the con woman in a matrimonial site where she introduced herself as a doctor and US citizen, and settled in Jubilee Hills. Malavika maintained that her phone and bank accounts were hacked and requested the victim to transfer money. Believing her, he transferred over Rs one crore to her bank account in installments.

The 33-year-old techie also claimed that Malavika allegedly lured him by her “love chats” on WhatsApp and Telegram. He said that apart from digging into his own savings, he even borrowed money to transfer it to Malavika.
