The shocking case of suman reveals a well-orchestrated marriage scam spanning multiple states and targeting unsuspecting men. Just two days after her wedding, her husband discovered the truth—she was already married and had forged documents to pose as single. The wedding itself had been arranged through middlemen, with the groom’s family paying ₹3 lakh in the belief that they were securing a legitimate match. Instead, they had unknowingly fallen into the trap of a criminal network that preys on families seeking brides.

When confronted, Suman’s actions proved her intent to escape rather than face the consequences. She locked her husband in a room and tried to flee by using a saree rope from the balcony, where two accomplices were reportedly waiting to whisk her away. The escape attempt went wrong, resulting in her falling and fracturing both legs. Her screams drew the attention of the family, who caught her, while her partners in crime fled the scene. This botched getaway not only exposed the plot but also hinted at how well-rehearsed such scams might be, given the presence of accomplices and a clear escape plan.

Under interrogation, suman admitted to being part of a gang that operates across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Their modus operandi was simple yet devastating—target unmarried men, stage fake weddings, collect large sums in dowry or marriage expenses, and have the “bride” disappear shortly after the ceremony. police believe this incident is just one among many, with several victims likely too ashamed or hesitant to come forward. With an FIR registered, authorities are now pursuing the absconding members, hoping to dismantle a network that has turned the sacred institution of marriage into a tool for fraud.
