A shocking incident has come to light in Medak district where a cunning man deceived two innocent young women using social media on the pretext of love. Victims lodged a police complaint against a youth named Durgesh, who had ensnared two women from Tekmal village—using different names and swindled lakhs of rupees from them.
According to the police, Durgesh adopted the alias "Rithvik Reddy" on Instagram and sent a friend request to a young woman from Tekmal. After she accepted the request, he struck up a conversation. He convinced her that he was undergoing IPS training in Chhattisgarh and, through smooth talk, drew her into a romantic relationship.
Claiming he needed money for urgent expenses and promising marriage, he managed to extract Rs 5 lakh in cash and a pair of gold earrings from her. He then gradually began to distance himself by changing his phone number and attempting to disappear.
Meanwhile, Durgesh set his sights on another girl—a 17-year-old minor—from the same village. This time, he created an Instagram profile under the name "Sathvik Reddy" and sent her a request. He spun a new story, claiming to be an MBBS student. Under the guise of educational expenses, he extracted approximately ₹7 lakh from her in installments.
Eventually, Durgesh switched off both his phone numbers and absconded. The full story came to light when two victims, realizing they had been deceived, lodged a complaint at the Tekmal police station. They were shocked to discover that the person who had swindled them was not two different individuals, but a single man named Durgesh from their own village. The police have registered a case and are searching for the accused.
