Techie arrested for cheating live-in partner

A software engineer working with an IT company in Pune was on Wednesday arrested by Mangalhat police on the charge of cheating a 30-year-old woman artist, his live-in partner, by promising to marry her and breaking the promise.

Cherukuri Sudhakar, a native of Khammam district, allegedly befriended the woman, a painter, seven years ago and the two had a physical relationship as he also promised to marry her.
But after he shifted to Pune three months ago, he started avoiding her, said Mangalhat Inspector G Sridhar.
 On the promise of marriage, Sudhakar had a physical relationship with the woman, however, he later refused to marry her and thereby cheated her, the inspector said.
He was arrested from Pune on Wednesday night and brought to Hyderabad.
