Rajasthan Police contacted Anuradha by becoming ‘bogus customers’
Recently, he had married a young man named Gabbar in Bhopal with Rs 2 lakh and also made him a victim of cheating. Rajasthan Police adopted a special strategy to catch this gang. He became a ‘bogus customer’ and contacted Anuradha and implicated him in a trap on the pretext of marriage. As soon as she got ready for marriage and she gave her address, phone number and photo, the police arrested her red handed. Initial investigation by the police has revealed that the entire gang used to operate from Bhopal. This gang used to target men who were worried about marriage or whose financial condition was good.
Fraud of crores of rupees in the name of marriage
According to police sources, Anuradha Paswan is originally from Kolhui Bazar in Maharajganj district of UP. Anuradha and her gang members used to show themselves poor and compelled, so that the victims could easily trust them. Once married, Anuradha used to steal cash and jewelry and escaped. It is believed that this gang has cheated crores of rupees so far. After this case, Bhopal and Rajasthan Police have appealed to the people to gather complete information about the boy or girl and their family before marriage and avoid any kind of fraud.
