A criminal group operating as a 'Robber Bride' gang was apprehended in Bihar following a fraudulent marriage scheme that targeted a family from Rajasthan. This gang lured unsuspecting families with marriage proposals, convincing them to make significant wedding purchases. The group then led the families to a village for a staged wedding ceremony.
Following the ritual, the perpetrators reportedly assaulted the victims and drove them away. A family from Rajasthan, who had traveled to Dhanbad for a proposed marriage alliance, reported the incident to the police. This led to a swift investigation.
Dhanbad police successfully tracked the accused using mobile phone data, resulting in the arrest of ten gang members. Recovered items include clothing and jewelry intended for the wedding. Investigators are now examining the gang's broader network and suspect previous victimizations through similar scams.
