The complainant alleged that she came in contact with one Dr Aman Sharma over an e-matrimonial site who cheated her on the pretext of marriage.“Rajan, posing as a doctor, introduced himself to the victim, and they exchanged numbers, After establishing trust, he deceitfully claimed his ATM was blocked and persuaded the victim to transfer Rs 1.3 lakh,” said Surendra Choudhary, DCP (Shahdara).“During investigation, technical surveillance was mounted. The call detail records, bank details and internet protocol detail records were analysed which pinpointed our team to Rajan. A raid was conducted at his residence from where he was nabbed,” the DCP added.During interrogation, the suspect confessed that by using fake names and photos he had set up a profile on matrimony apps wherein he had cheated over 50 girls on the pretext of marriage and impersonating himself as a doctor, in order to earn easy money to repay his debts, police said.Cops said a similar case had cropped up on March 28. “The complainant had alleged she had met one “Rajbir Sharma” on a matrimonial platform who purportedly impersonated as the “owner of a construction company” and expressed matrimonial interest. However, Sharma, operating under false pretences deceived her of Rs 2.17 lakh,” said the DCP.Investigations pointed to the involvement of Prashant, who worked as a banker with a private company. “Following a raid, the accused was nabbed from Dwarka. During interrogation, Prashant admitted to cheating more than 20 girls by creating fake profiles,” DCP Choudhary added.Both the suspects have been remanded to judicial custody while further investigation is underway to unearth the previous incidences of similar modus operandi, police said.
