The South-East Task Force, along with local police, arrested a man for allegedly deceiving people by claiming to solve their problems, including health issues, through black magic. The accused, Ilyas Ahmed, also known as Mohd Ilyas (42), hails from Jahangirabad, Bandlaguda.
Police reports indicate that Ahmed, originally from Mahabubnagar, moved to Hyderabad in 2012 looking for work. However, he began tricking people by offering false promises of solutions through black magic.
“He scammed many by collecting large sums of money, assuring them relief from their problems. Even when their issues weren’t resolved, he continued demanding more money,” a senior officer said.
Authorities confiscated items used for black magic, including photos, threads, Rs 8,000 in cash, and a mobile phone during the arrest.
