Indore Scam: Four Arrested for Sham Wedding Loot

Four individuals, including three women, were arrested in Indore for allegedly looting men through sham weddings. Varsha, Rekha Sharma, Sunita alias Basanti, and Vijay Kataria deceived two men by marrying them, then stealing their valuables. Further investigations may uncover more such cases.

Four persons, including three women, were detained in Indore on Tuesday for their involvement in a fraudulent wedding scheme, according to police.

Authorities identified the suspects as Varsha (27), Rekha Sharma (40), Sunita alias Basanti (45), and Vijay Kataria (55). They allegedly orchestrated marriages between Varsha and two separate men, one from Maharashtra and the other from Rajasthan, only for Varsha to abscond with the men's jewelry and cash shortly thereafter, said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia.

Further investigations are expected to reveal more incidents of this scam, officials noted.
