Summary
- A 31-year-old man arrested for cheating women with marriage promises.
- Accused targeted victims via matrimonial sites and social media.
- Defrauded money was spent on alcohol and parties, police stated.
A 31-year-old man, Dashmeet Singh, was apprehended for allegedly deceiving women by promising marriage and extorting money. He recently defrauded a woman in Delhi's Shalimar Bagh of Rs 86,500. Singh utilized matrimonial websites and social media to find and gain the trust of women seeking life partners. After obtaining funds, he would cease all communication.
His arrest followed a complaint filed last October. Investigators analyzed digital footprints, financial transactions, and location data, tracing the money through multiple UPI transfers. Technical surveillance and financial trail analysis led police to his operating base in Rajpura, Punjab, where he was arrested on Thursday.
Singh, a graduate and dispatch manager, admitted to the fraud, citing financial hardship and a desire to fund an extravagant lifestyle, including parties and alcohol. He frequently changed locations to evade detection, initially in Janakpuri before relocating to Punjab.
