Kashmir News: A strange case has come to light in Kashmir, where not one or two but at least 32 men have been duped by the same woman through ‘fake-marriage’. The woman, who was legally married to all the men one after the other, is absconding and till now no one has any idea about her real name, identity or address.
While the number of men swindled is yet to be ascertained, at least 32 men from the four districts of Budgam, Pulwama, Srinagar and Shopian are protesting in Srinagar demanding action against the gang of thugs . Who trap innocent villagers in marriage contracts and cheat them of jewelery and “mehr” money after marriage.
The matter came to light last month (June 3) when a man from Budgam’s Khansahib area, Mohammad Altaf Mir (48), approached the police with a complaint that his two-week-old bride had gone missing.
went missing during a trip to the hospital
The groom told the police that his wife Zaheen Akhtar had gone missing during the trip to the hospital. That woman is going to be in Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir. Who was married to Altaf just ten days before the incident. Mohammad Altaf Mir said that he has made his documents fake. She does not tell her real name to anyone.
More than a dozen victims wrote reports
At first the police considered it as a simple domestic issue, but when the picture of the missing woman was flashed by the police on their network, it became a big deal. The police system was overwhelmed as more than a dozen men approached the police with missing reports of their wives and in all cases, the complainants were showing pictures of only this one woman.
Speaking to the media, Altaf’s father Abdul Ahad Mir said that a few months back a marriage broker had approached him by showing photographs of a woman from Rajouri for marriage.
Had to pay 2 lakh rupees for marriage
Altaf’s father said, “A local middleman contacted me and said that he would get my son married and all I had to do was pay him Rs 2 lakh. Along with some relatives of the family, I reached Rajouri and booked some hotel rooms, however, the middle man kept delaying the marriage. After a few days, they said that the girl had met with an accident and returned half the money to me.”
Altaf’s father further said that after a few hours, he asked for the money back and showed us pictures of another girl. When we agreed to the marriage, the woman was brought at the time of Isha (night prayer). After the marriage, the family returned to Kashmir the same night and everything seemed fine.
Wife went missing when husband went to get hospital ticket
Abdul Ahad Mir said, “After a few days, she told her husband that she wanted to get a checkup done at the hospital. The husband went to get the ticket to the hospital, when he came back, his wife had disappeared from the spot.
The father of another one of the victims said, apart from three lakh and eighty thousand in cash, we had taken gold worth more than five lakh as mehr (guarantee) for the woman.
Many people involved in this – lawyer
The lawyer representing him claimed that the racket is big and many people are involved in it. He further said, “There are many people who have been looted by this woman and others in the gang. The woman’s name appears to be Zaheen, Ilyas and Shahina in marriage documents, but no one knows her real name.
Married 27 people with the help of brokers
The lawyer pointed out that in Budgam alone, she has married at least twenty-seven (27) men with the help of touts and we have reports of many men in Pulwama, Shopain and even the surrounding districts of Srinagar who have been linked to this gang. Has framed for marriage.
The lawyer also said, “The number of victims could be more than 50, all people have been robbed of between Rs 5 and 10 lakh.” However, the police have so far kept silence on the matter and have registered cases only on individual complaints. And cracking the case would be a much bigger and more interesting story of how the gang managed to dupe so many people without getting caught.
