Youth held for fibbing into a marriage

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
CHENNAI, April 13: The young man uttered just one lie to win her hand in marriage and ended up in the custody of the police. Hariharan (28), a computer science teacher, lied to a colleague that he had found a plumb software job in USA and conned her into marrying him. Six months after quitting his job at an Adambakkam computer institute, he called his colleague, supposedly from Pasadena, California, where he was ``earning 50,000 US dollars per week in a software job.''

Several phone calls followed. Hariharan lured his colleague into marriage and told her that he had arrived in the country on April 6. Checking into a five star hotel, he travelled in a Toyota car to her residence where he impressed her family and finalised the marriage which was held on April 10.Only then was it revealed. The police found that Hariharan had taken Rs 1.30 lakh for preparing forged passport and visa documents for two relatives of his ``wife.''
