In a jaw-dropping fraud tale from Konaraopet, the local police nabbed three crooks, including a self-proclaimed sadhu, for fooling a man named Venu out of nearly ₹4 lakh. The trio promised to perform 'special rituals' to remove health problems and uncover a 'hidden treasure of gold' in Venu's own house! The Konaraopet police acted quickly after Venu filed a complaint on November 26, 2025. Under the watchful eye of Inspector Venkateshwarlu from Chandurthi police, they arrested the accused in Nizamabad village. The arrested suspects are Mekala Naresh, Kadavancha Prasad, and Sadhula Devender, all hailing from Rajanna Sircilla district. During their arrest, the police recovered ₹3 lakh from their possession, a big chunk of the money they had swindled. What’s more dramatic? The trio staged a fake 'snake bite' incident during their ritual performance at Venu's house. This bogus act scared Venu so much that he had to pay an extra ₹15,000 saying it was for treatment costs. All this under the sneaky cover of warding off health troubles and chasing hidden wealth! This colorful and cunning scam left Venu in huge trouble but thanks to the sharp police, justice is on its way. The case shines a bright spotlight on how some fraudsters exploit faith and fear to trick innocent people. As this story unfolds, it serves as a serious warning: Beware of anyone promising magic or treasure through rituals. The Konaraopet police are keeping a firm grip on such malpractice to protect the public.
