Fake bride, 4 others nabbed for taking 6 for a ride

BHOPAL: Believing sob stories about 26-year-old "needy, poor, widow" from a gang of fraudsters, 5 wannabe grooms fell for it. The gang of conmen would present Jyoti Verma as a widow with the responsibility of a 6-year-old girl. After making them marry the "poor widow," the gang would run away with the money and valuable of the unsuspecting men, police said.

The gang would have continued conning more but for the presence of mind shown by her fifth victim- Ram Charan Chowdhary, 32, a resident of Jasso village in Satna district to see through her game. After marrying Chowdhary on November 28, Jyoti ran away in a couple of days. But before doing so, she took Rs 25,000 the poor man gave to settle heroutstanding "loan". The man agreed to the condition.

Satna police have arrested 5 people, including 3 women in connection with the fraud in the past 15 days.

Jasso police station in charge R K Jaiswal said, "The accused was introduced to Chowdhary through one of her aides Rajesh Chowdhary, who knew the victim. It was he who helped in fixing the marriage of two.

"On December 1, Rajesh came and informed that there was some problem in maternal house of the woman and a relative had come to take her. Unaware of their intentions, Ram Charan allowed her to go," Jaiswal said.

But when she did not return or could be contacted on phone, Ram Charan tracked Rajesh in his native Imalia village in Panna district, he added. Ram Charan, who reached Imaliya with village elders, caught him. Finding him cornered, he called his two accomplices Pooja Saket, 32, and Rakesh Saket, 30. The trio tried to assure Ram Charan that they would return money, but Ram Charan informed the police, Jaiswal said.

All the three were arrested and then, Jyoti Verma, 26, the girl who married Ram Charan was arrested from Piparia Don, a village in Panna district. But even before that, she managed to befool a villager in Piparia Don and was living with him. She was demanding Rs 30,000 from him to settle loans, Jaiswal said.

Satna police have arrested 5 people, including 3 women in connection with the fraud over the past 15 days.

On interrogation they revealed that Ram Charan was the fifth husband of Jyoti, he said.

"The fifth accused, Shobha, 40, was arrested on December 28 from Panna and was presented before the court on Thursday," he said adding, "Shobha was living with a man known by the name of Hatim, who was her fifth husband".

All the accused have been booked under Section 420 (fraud) of the IPC and other relevant sections.
