The foreigner had arrived in Hyderabad a week ago to visit her friend. She had developed a friendship with a person while he was studying in Germany. She had also reportedly visited Hyderabad earlier.
Police took a serious note of the incident and constituted special teams to nab the culprit. They reportedly picked a suspect and were questioning him.
