Hyderabad fright!

So while waiting near a stall for food in Hyderabad, a man came up to me dressed in long green robes and said "do you speak english?". When I said yes, he asked me if I knew what happened after the tsunami in Goa. I replied no (didn't even realise Goa had been hit by a tsunami!) and he said well hatred against tourists is increasing and yesterday a tourist was hacked to death in Hyderabad! He advised me to be very cautious and not to take anything from strangers and then left... Glad to be out of Hyderabad!!
