A new cheater is very active these days in Hyderabad. He targets the seekers of matrimonial alliances. He associates himself with very dignified families of Hyderabad and tells them he is in search of a good match for his beautiful grandson.
He contacts people taking their phone numbers from the advertisement of matrimonial allegiances. He invites the relatives of the girl with bio-data to his house and he gives the address of a posh locality for contact. He cleverly makes an appointment for such a time which is near Magrib prayer.
