Man Arrested for Using Multiple Fake Identities to Defraud 25 Women Via Matrimonial Sites

The Mira Bhayandar Crime Branch has arrested a man accused of running a large-scale matrimonial fraud in which he allegedly duped more than 25 women across India of crores of rupees by promising marriage. Police said the accused was tracked down and arrested from Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh after multiple complaints were consolidated during the investigation.

According to officials, the accused allegedly created a false identity of being unmarried and well-settled, using matrimonial websites, social media platforms, and newspaper advertisements to contact prospective brides. He is said to have presented himself as a trustworthy groom, carefully building long-term communication with victims to gain emotional confidence before initiating financial exploitation.

Investigators revealed that the accused allegedly used several fake names, photographs, and fabricated personal backgrounds to maintain multiple identities at the same time. Police said he frequently changed details such as profession, location, and family background in order to avoid suspicion while continuing to target new victims across different states.

The accused is believed to have specifically targeted divorced women, differently abled individuals, and financially or emotionally vulnerable women. After gaining their trust through repeated conversations and false assurances of marriage, he allegedly began requesting money under various pretexts, including medical emergencies, travel arrangements, and wedding-related expenses.

Police further stated that the accused systematically siphoned off large sums of money from victims over time, with preliminary estimates suggesting losses running into crores of rupees. Officials also said the fraud was carried out in a planned manner, with the accused maintaining continuous contact with multiple victims simultaneously while ensuring they remained unaware of each other.

During the arrest operation, police seized a BMW X1 car allegedly purchased using proceeds from the crime. Investigators said the vehicle is being treated as key evidence in tracing the financial trail of the fraud. Authorities also confirmed that the accused’s son has been named as a co-accused in the case, as investigators are probing whether he had any role in facilitating or benefiting from the transactions.

The accused is currently in judicial custody while further investigation is underway. Police said they are in the process of identifying additional victims and verifying digital records, bank transactions, and communication logs linked to the case. Officials added that the case highlights a growing pattern of online matrimonial fraud, where emotional manipulation is used as a tool for large-scale financial cheating.
