Raghu (name changed), an Indian working in America, met 25-year-old Deepthi Reddy on an Internet matrimonial site.

They started talking and exchanged phone numbers and email IDs.

Deepthi claimed to be a doctor and after a few days told him how she operated on poor children and asked if he could help financially. Raghu agreed and sent $1,000 for each child. Sometime later, she asked for Rs 50 lakh to help start a school for the children.

By this time Raghu and she were very close and he sent the money and asked her to marry him. She agreed and asked him to come to Hyderabad. However, landing in Hyderabad was the end of the line for him, as Deepthi had vanished.

She didn’t answer his calls, and there was no way he could get in touch with her.

Finally, Raghu went to the police. On Thursday, the Cyber Crimes CID, after investigating the case by going through the phone calls, IP address, emails and money transfers found Deepthi in Guntur with her mother.

The story doesn’t end there. After investigation, cops found out that Deepthi Reddy is married and involved with five other men. She met few more through a matrimonial site.

U. Ramamohan, SP, Cyber Crimes, CID, says, “She is a very intelligent girl, speaks good English and has gotten used to living a lavish life.”

Without any monthly income, she possessed two cars, MacBook, iPhones, gadgets and she always travels by air. With the money she got from Raghu, she rebuilt her house lavishly in Guntur. She even campaigned with Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan when the mega star started his political party. She was in the same vehicle Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan travelled in.

Deepthi’s story started at the age of 15 when she met her first husband, Balasubramanyam, from Tirupati, through a matrimonial website. He promised to take her to Malaysia after marriage. She married him, but then realised he had lied. She was also ill-treated by his family, so she left him and moved to Bengaluru.

There, she married Dharam Shekar, from Kakinada who was a credit card fraudster. She claims he ran away with the money they had both collected. After this was Bashweshwar with whom she was involved in cheque bouncing cases. Then came Vijay, through whom she met Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan, and finally Madan Mohan who she claims, absconded with her ornaments. Finally, she met Raghu on the matrimonial website.

Ramamohan says, “She told us about her marriages, but we are still investigating. She does not seem to repent at all. She confessed and says she would have repaid Raghu and that someone will bail her out.”
