The number of Black Magicians and Fake Babas is on the rise in various parts of Hyderabad. The police, surprisingly, is not taking any action to curb their menace. These black magicians and fake Babas fool innocent people and rob their money.

A few years ago, Hyderabad police formed a Special Task Force to expose these black magicians and fake babas and create awareness in public. For the past few years, however, no such campaign has been taken up by the city police. Such Black Magicians and Fake Babas from Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Haryana, and other states are rampant in thickly populated areas of twin cities.  These fake Babas and black magicians target innocent Hyderabadis in fleecing their hard-earned cash.

The illiterate and sometimes even the educated are becoming the target of these unscrupulous elements. For the last two years, thanks to the COVID pandemic, people have been staying at home, due to which they are suffering from several psychological problems. These people are easy targets for these black magicians and fake Babas.

It is high time the city police take strict action against these black magicians and fake babas.
