Cyberabad police today arrested two persons, posing as 'babas', here for allegedly cheating people by collecting money from them for offering "solutions" to various problems, police said.
The accused, identified as Mohd Sajjad (28) and his associate Feroze Khan (22), had set up tents here and were collecting sums ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 from innocent people on the promise of offering solutions to their various problems including health issues, love failures etc, KPHB Police Station Inspector V Srikanth Goud said.
Both are natives of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.
Based on information, the Special Operations Team of Cyberabad Police raided the place and nabbed the duo and found that they are in possession of items to perform black magic, another senior police officer said.
"However, in reality none of the customers got remedy to their problems despite paying amounts to them and got fooled," the police officer said.
The duo is booked on charges of cheating.
