In Laliyana village, Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, a young man paid INR 200,000 to a broker named Raju for his marriage. The broker introduced him to a girl and an older woman in Delhi’s Majnu ka Tila area, claiming they were the bride and her mother. Courting began, and soon a relationship was agreed upon. The traditional Hindu wedding ceremonies took place as scheduled, and the groom brought his bride home, where she lived as part of the family for three nights without any issues.
On the fourth day, the plot thickened. The bride asked to visit her parents but left with jewelry and INR 50,000 in cash. The family expected her return within a few days, but as time passed without any contact, their suspicions grew.
Determined to bring her back, the young man ventured to her supposed home, but was met with a stunning realization. Everything was a facade, including the bride and her rented mother-in-law, who was an actress. The bride used a false name, and the man discovered she’s actually from the Muslim community.
From start to finish, the groom was ensnared in an elaborate sham. With both the bride and money missing, he now searches Delhi with the broker, desperately seeking clues while preparing to file a report with the police.
The distraught groom stated, “The broker arranged my marriage with a girl in Majnu ka Tila for INR 200,000. She stayed for three nights, left pretending to visit her parents, and never came back, taking cash and jewelry. On visiting her supposed home, neither was found. The so-called mother-in-law was part of the con, and the bride was Muslim, not Hindu as presented.”
