Overview

• Anuradha Paswan, 23, allegedly married 25 men across multiple states within seven months, stealing valuables before fleeing each time.
• Her modus operandi included using legal wedding documents, staying briefly with her victims, and then escaping with gold, cash, and electronics.
• The scam was uncovered after Vishnu Sharma, a victim from Rajasthan, filed a police complaint on May 3 when Paswan fled with valuables 12 days after their marriage.
• Rajasthan Police arrested Paswan in Bhopal on May 19 using an undercover officer posing as a prospective groom to lure her into a trap.
• Authorities are now coordinating with multiple states to dismantle the broader marriage fraud racket and identify accomplices, including agents and gang members.
