Lured, Married, Looted & Blackmailed: How Uttarakhand's 'Luteri Dulhan' Conned 3 Men
Jaipur: A 36-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly looting three men in the last ten years, whom she met on a matrimonial app. In the latest case, Seema Agarwal, alias Nikki, vanished after stealing jewellery worth Rs 30 lakh, cash worth Rs 6.5 lakh, and other valuables. According to the police, Agarwal married a jeweller in February, and just a few months after their wedding, she ran away with the stolen items. According to DCP Amit Kumar, the victim met Nikki on a matrimonial app and later married her at a ceremony in Mansarovar. In July, she ran away with the family's valuables, the jeweller said in a police statement. According to DCP (West) Amit Kumar, the accused, a resident of Dehradun, used matrimonial apps to trap her victims.
Agarwal lured wealthy men to marry her before looting them. She also allegedly used to file false legal cases against them, added DCP Kumar. Following the complaints against her, a special team from the Murlipura police station traced her to Dehradun, where she lived, and arrested her. During questioning, it was revealed that Agarwal used similar patterns to trap her victims and has been doing so for a decade. In 2013, the accused married a businessman's son in Agra. Shortly after the wedding, she filed a case of domestic abuse and allegedly extorted Rs 75 lakh.
In 2017, she married a software engineer from Gurugram and extorted over Rs 10 lakh by filing a case of unnatural sex and rape against her husband's cousin. Her most recent victim, a jeweller from Jaipur, who was a widower, faced blackmailing and a false case of unnatural sex against him and rape accusations against his family members in Dehradun. She allegedly used legal threats to extract more money. Kumar stated that Agarwal targeted wealthy widowed or divorced men from a specific community through matrimonial websites. She then gathered information about the potential grooms about their financial status, married them, and extorted money by filing false cases.
