Created Profile on Jeevansathi.com
The accused, Rahul Chaturvedi, set up a profile on Jeevansathi.com and Better Half, where he falsely presented himself as an HR Regional Manager at Wipro. Using these platforms, he connected with several women, collected their phone numbers, and then ensnared them in a romantic relationship under the false promise of marriage. He swindled expensive items like iPhones, costly mobile phones, and money. A case was registered against him at Bisrakh Police Station based on the complaint of a victim, who reported that Chaturvedi defrauded her of Rs 2 lakh in cash and took her iPhone. Additional complaints against him were filed at Beta Two Police Station.
Confession During Interrogation
During questioning, Chaturvedi confessed to having trapped 20 women in his scam. To substantiate his fake identity, he created forged salary slips from Wipro, showing himself as a high-ranking executive. In one instance, he promised a foreign trip to a woman after showing her these salary slips. In other cases, he extorted two phones from one victim, Rs 2 lakh from another, and even had a third woman buy him several pairs of expensive shoes.
Key Points of the Case
- After swindling a woman, the accused would block her phone number to sever all contact.
- He targeted women under the age of 35 because they were financially independent, making it easier for him to extract money and valuables from them.
- Chaturvedi altered his voice to impersonate his own father while speaking to the women to avoid suspicion.
- He created premium profiles on multiple matrimonial websites to appear more legitimate.
- After promising marriage, he would also attempt to meet the women’s families to further gain their trust.
- Chaturvedi’s background as an IIM graduate gave him credibility, making it easier for him to gain the women’s confidence.
The police are currently investigating if there are more victims involved in this extensive fraud.
