Hyderabad sources have stated that according to the police, the accused was identified as Narasimha Charyulu. He had been running an office named 'Bhavishyavani' at Vanasthalipuram for a quite some time now. As there is a good demand for astrology in the city, Narasimha Charyulu cashed the opportunity to dupe gullible women. Meanwhile he used to claim that the present political leaders in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh achieved high positions and fame only because of him.
Furthermore when he started receiving prospective customers, the astrologer started seeking half-nude photographs of customers to solve their problems. He had even misbehaved with college students in the name of offering special prayers.
Meanwhile it is learnt that Narasimha Charyulu also
took money from prominent personalities and politicians promising them of
performing pooja. Five cheating cases had already been registered against the
astrologer in various police stations in the city. Currently the police
recovered an Rs 1 lakh in cash and a pistol from the accused. A case has been
registered against and investigation is on.
