Raipur Police Bust Inter-State Matrimonial Fraud Racket, Two Arrested
Raipur Police have uncovered an inter-state matrimonial fraud racket that allegedly targeted women through online marriage platforms. In a coordinated operation, the Anti-Crime and Cyber Unit, along with Raipur Police, arrested two accused from Delhi and Uttarakhand.
According to investigators, the fraudsters created fake profiles on matrimonial websites to gain the trust of women seeking life partners. After establishing contact, they allegedly manipulated victims, drugged them during meetings, and escaped with cash, jewellery, and other valuables worth several lakh rupees.
Police launched an extensive investigation after receiving complaints from victims. Technical surveillance and intelligence gathering helped officers trace the suspects across state borders, leading to their arrest during joint raids.
Authorities believe the accused may be linked to multiple similar cases and are examining their activities in other states. Police have urged people using matrimonial websites to verify identities thoroughly, avoid sharing personal or financial information too quickly, and remain cautious while meeting online acquaintances.
The arrests mark a significant breakthrough in tackling cyber-enabled matrimonial crimes, as investigators continue efforts to identify additional victims and uncover the full extent of the network.
