Summary
- Woman denied bail for alleged marriage-based extortion.

- Court cites grave allegations and ongoing investigation.
A Gurgaon court has denied bail to a 33-year-old woman accused of orchestrating a marriage scam to extort money from men. The judicial magistrate observed that the allegations against her are serious and her release could compromise the ongoing investigation.
The FIR, registered in June, details allegations of the accused concealing previous marriages and criminal cases before marrying the complainant. She is accused of extorting Rs 18 lakh by threatening to file false criminal cases and illegally occupying his office.
Police have informed the court that the accused and her family members are implicated in 13 FIRs. Six of these cases specifically allege extortion from men after luring them into marriage. The defense argued the dispute was civil, but the prosecution countered that the investigation is in its preliminary stages.
The complainant also accused the woman's family of criminal intimidation, conspiracy, and trespass. He alleged they threatened him when he approached the police regarding the fraudulent activities. The court's decision reflects the gravity of these accusations.
