While I never felt 'threatened' in India, I have read warnings about women traveling in India. particularly in the north east.
In Hyderabad, I don't think there is much risk. The beggars were usually women and children. If she hires a driver while she's there (2000 rupees per day, around $40 US) you get a guide that will take her places and keep her out of trouble (and provides translation). Most hotels have drivers available for a bit more.
I am sure there are better guides to answer the safety question... I'd dig around the web for details.
