Jaipur Police Arrest ‘Looting Bride’ After She Cons Three Rich Men of ₹1.25 Crore
Dubbed the “Looting Bride,” the accused targeted affluent individuals by presenting herself as an ideal match.
In a shocking case of deceit, a woman has been accused of orchestrating a series of fraudulent marriages to swindle wealthy men out of ₹1.25 crore. Dubbed the “Looting Bride,” the accused targeted affluent individuals by presenting herself as an ideal match on matrimonial websites, only to vanish after securing large sums of money.
Investigators uncovered that the woman had married three men over a span of a few years, each time using elaborate lies to extract money.
Seema, known as Nikki, hails from Uttarakhand. In 2013, she entered into marriage with a businessman from Agra. Subsequently, she initiated legal action against his family, resulting in a settlement of ₹ 75 lakh. In 2017, Seema wed a software engineer from Gurugram, but after their separation, she secured ₹ 10 lakh as part of their settlement agreement.
According to authorities, the woman carefully selected her targets, ensuring they were financially well-off. She relied on matrimonial websites for the purpose.
In 2023, she married a businessman from Jaipur, but shortly after, she escaped from his residence with jewellery and cash totaling ₹ 36 lakh. Following the family’s complaint, the Jaipur Police apprehended Seema.
One victim revealed that shortly after the marriage, the woman claimed she needed money to resolve a “family emergency.” When he became suspicious, she cut off all contact and disappeared. Similar patterns were observed in the other cases, leading investigators to connect the dots.
Jaipur Police confirmed her arrest stating that she was located after several months of investigation.
“Investigations revealed a well-planned modus operandi. The woman specifically targeted divorced or wealthy businessmen and professionals. After establishing contact, she would gather information about her victims’ financial assets and businesses. Following the wedding, Seema would spend three to four months building trust with her in-laws before vanishing with valuable assets. Those who confronted her found themselves entangled in false cases of domestic violence and harassment,” said the police.
“This case highlights the growing misuse of online matrimonial platforms,” a senior police official stated. “We urge people to verify the background of prospective partners thoroughly before making any commitments.”
The case has sparked debates about the risks associated with digital matchmaking and the need for stricter safeguards.
As investigations continue, the victims hope for justice and the recovery of their lost funds.
