A married man has been arrested from North Delhi in a case of cheating a divorced woman, with police claiming that the accused was also in touch with 30 other women whom he befriended on matrimonial sites posing as a divorcee.
Accused Manish Gupta, 36, who is a resident of Rohini, was arrested by the police on the basis of a case registered at Ashok Nagar police station on a complaint of a divorced woman whom he had cheated last week, said Milind Dumbere, DCP (Northwest). The woman in her complaint told the police that she was a divorcee and was searching a matrimonial site for a suitable match for her where she got in touch with Manish, who introduced himself as a divorced businessman with Rs 1 crore annual income. The accused also attracted the complainant claiming to be a management graduate and alumni of a prestigious Delhi University college. He also made the woman to believe in a happy future with him.
After winning her confidence, he asked the woman to deposit money in his accounts claiming that he had lost his wallet containing his credit card and a diamond ring. The woman, believing that she was helping her “future husband,” deposited Rs 50,000 and Rs 25,000 on two occasions in June this year.
