A 54-year-old man has been arrested for marrying 14 women across the country and duping them of lakhs of Rupees. He also cheated other people and organisations by posing as a doctor.
In a shocking revelation, a man from Odisha was arrested for allegedly defrauding several women across seven cities after marrying them by posing as a doctor.
The accused was identified as Bidhu Prakash Swain (54) alias Ramesh Swain, a resident of the Kendrapara district. He lived outside Odisha most of the time.
Swain used to target women from Punjab, Delhi, Assam, Jharkhand, and Odisha. His targets would be mostly middle-aged women and divorcees. He would contact them through matrimonial sites, posing as a doctor working for the Union Health Ministry.
“His targets were highly-educated and worked in senior positions at various government and private organisations. He had his eyes on their money,” Bhubaneswar DCP Umashankar Dash told India Today.
Among Swain’s victims were an advocate at the Supreme Court and a senior Central Armed Police Forces official.
He married the CAPF official from Punjab in 2018 and duped her of around Rs 10 lakh.
Later, he duped the Gurdwara, where the marriage was solemnised, of Rs 11 lakh on the promise of sanctioning a hospital.
