Hyderabad Inspector Arrested for Alleged Marriage Fraud
A Detective Inspector from Saidabad has been arrested for allegedly exploiting a woman under the false promise of marriage for several years.
A Detective Inspector attached to the Saidabad Police Station has been taken into custody following allegations of sexual exploitation and cheating a woman under the false pretext of marriage. The officer, identified as Balaswamy, has been remanded to judicial custody at Chanchalguda Prison after the Saidabad Police registered a formal complaint against him.
A Relationship Built on Deceit
The investigation reveals a long-running deception that allegedly began in December 2016. According to the First Information Report (FIR), the complainant first encountered Balaswamy while he was serving as an administrative Sub-Inspector at the Chandrayangutta Police Station. She had approached the station regarding the implementation of a court order.
The woman alleged that Balaswamy initiated frequent contact shortly thereafter, eventually proposing marriage in January 2017. He reportedly convinced her that marriage was possible once certain personal hurdles were cleared, specifically citing the need to settle his disabled sister's marriage first.
Years of False Promises
The complainant stated that the physical relationship began in March 2017, fueled by his continuous assurances of a future together. Throughout the years, the relationship persisted, but the victim eventually discovered a devastating truth: Balaswamy was already a married man.
When confronted, the inspector allegedly employed several tactics to maintain the relationship:
- False Claims of Separation: He claimed he was living apart from his wife and was in the process of obtaining a divorce.
- Emotional Manipulation: He reportedly threatened to harm himself when she attempted to sever ties.
- Exploiting Vulnerability: After the death of the woman's husband in May 2021, Balaswamy allegedly renewed his promises of marriage to keep her engaged.
The Deception Unravels
The illusion of a shared future shattered in 2024 when the woman learned from the inspector's own relatives that he had moved his wife and children into a newly constructed home. When she confronted him about this betrayal, he allegedly responded with abuse, stating he never intended to marry her.
Despite this confrontation, the cycle of manipulation reportedly continued as he renewed his promises to prevent her from leaving. However, the situation took a turn in January 2025 when Balaswamy began distancing himself once again, leaving the woman in a state of severe mental distress that required psychiatric intervention.
Legal Action Taken
Following the formal complaint, the Saidabad Police have registered a case against Balaswamy under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:
- Section 69: Relating to sexual intercourse by deceitful means.
- Section 81, 351(2), and 352: Covering various aspects of criminal intimidation and misconduct.
The police have initiated a full investigation into the matter as the accused remains in judicial custody.
