He married 15 women by claiming to be a 'civil servant' and blackmailed them with recordings

In India, a man who defrauded dozens of women with promises of marriage by posing as a government official working in various capacities has been caught.

The suspect, named Nath, had established a large-scale fraud network targeting particularly vulnerable women. The incident came to light following a complaint filed by a woman with the cybercrime unit in the city of Cuttack. The woman, who had joined a matrimonial site after losing her husband, had become one of Nath's victims.

The fraudster contacted his victims by assuming different government identities, such as a railway employee or a tax inspector. The suspect, who employed long-term emotional manipulation, secretly recorded the victims' private images to use as a tool for blackmail, demanding large sums of money and valuables.

VICTIMIZED AT LEAST 15 WOMEN

The investigation revealed that Nath had victimized at least 15 women, had committed similar crimes in many states, and had outstanding arrest warrants against him. It was also discovered that the suspect is actually married and a father of two. Police officials stated that this case demonstrates that marriage fraud is a serious problem, warned the public against similar crimes, and emphasized the need to be cautious on online dating platforms.

While this incident draws attention to the prevalence of marriage fraud in India, it also reveals the extent of the emotional and financial damage experienced by the victims. Authorities announced that stricter measures will be taken to combat such crimes.
