Forty-two grooms from Madhya Pradesh turned up on their wedding day, some dressed in bright sherwanis, marigold garlands and steel dabbas carrying sweets. But the brides never arrived, and the men would later realise they had been duped by a fake wedding scam.
What unfolded in Dewas on Sunday was not just a case of financial fraud, according to police, but a public humiliation for dozens of men who had travelled from villages and small towns across Dewas and neighbouring districts, believing they were about to get married. By evening, the celebration ground had turned into a scene of anger and disbelief as families realised they may have been trapped in an elaborate scam that allegedly collected lakhs of rupees by promising brides from an Indore-based orphanage.
Police officials said preliminary investigation suggests the case involves organised cheating under the pretext of marriage.
