Hyderabad Woman Alleges Harassment, Threats After Engagement Called Off
Woman Alleges Harassment, Threats by Man after Engagement Called Off · deccanchronicle.com

A woman in Hyderabad says she met a man on a dating app.

She says he tricked her out of a lot of money — 15 lakh rupees.

He told her he needed the money to start a software company in America that would help make medicine for breast cancer.

The two got engaged in April, but she ended the engagement because she says he kept pushing her to pay the whole dowry early.

After that, she says he sent mean emails about her to her office.

She also says he threatened to throw acid on her or kill her, which made her scared to leave her home.

She went to the police in June, but she says the harassment kept happening.

Later, the man also filed a complaint against her with another police station.

Now the police are listening to both sides and investigating what happened.
