Came to Hyderabad in May this year

As per the complaint, the victim came to Hyderabad in May 2026 along with the main accused, Mohammed Fayaz, who had promised to marry her.

Their marriage was reportedly solemnised, following which they lived together in a rented house in Camp No. 21, Hafeez Baba Nagar.

The complainant stated that, after some time, her husband brought his three associates, Ahmad Mujeeb, Noor Kamal and Zia-ur-Rehman, aka Ibrahim, to stay at the house.

The complainant subsequently contacted her family members and was taken to the residence of her relative at Balapur in the city.

On October 26, she was brought to Kanchanbagh Police Station, where she lodged a complaint against the accused.
