Police sources said, the woman, who is already married with a son, started meeting the suspect and eventually developed intimacy and they secretly married in a temple. They then lived in a rented house in Jawaharnagar for about six months. In December, the woman requested Prasad to get their marriage registered as they had no legal proof. However, he kept postponing it citing various reasons and started avoiding her.

In January, he left to his native place in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh on the pretext of celebrating Sankranti festival. However, he did not return and his mobile too was switched off.

The woman, who realized she was cheated approached the police and lodged a complaint. The Jubilee Hills police are investigating.
