A 30-year-old man from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, has been taken into custody for allegedly posing as a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer in an attempt to deceive a woman and her family into marriage, according to police reports.

The accused was apprehended while suspiciously taking photographs at the international airport while dressed in a paramilitary uniform. CISF personnel detained him on Monday, subsequently handing him over to law enforcement for further investigation.

Initial inquiries reveal the man impersonated a CISF officer as part of a plan to marry a woman, a divorcee he had been in a relationship with following his separation from a previous marriage. Using the disguise, he convinced the woman's family he was a central government employee stationed at Hyderabad airport.
