Serial bride held for marriage extortion racket in Rudrapur
Rudrapur: A woman blackmailed a man with threats after moving in on the pretext of marriage, extorting lakhs from him, and was caught with ransom money in Rudrapur, police said on Saturday. Hina Rawat, 29, was arrested near Uday Hotel on Kichha road on Friday night following a complaint by Deepak Kakkar, a resident of Bhurarani Road. Rawat, a resident of Kharamasa, Kundeshwari in Kashipur, told the police she befriended Kakkar on a social messaging platform and introduced herself as Ankita Sharma, a high court advocate. She gradually lured him into a romantic relationship and moved into his home with marriage promises. In his complaint, Kakkar said Rawat later began blackmailing him for Rs 30 lakh, threatening to murder him or die by suicide to implicate him and his family in false criminal cases. He had already given her Rs 5 lakh. Kakkar later learnt her real identity, that she was already married and had over a dozen criminal cases registered against her in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh for extortion, cheating, and criminal intimidation. Udham Singh Nagar SSP Manikant Mishra said, "She was arrested red-handed while accepting a Rs 50,000 ransom from the complainant. A fake Aadhaar card was also recovered from her possession. She would impersonate a businesswoman, brand ambassador, contractor, or advocate to con people through fake identities and glamorous façades. She even used matrimonial sites to pose as a bride and frame victims in false rape cases. " An FIR has been registered at Rudrapur police station under BNS sections 308(4), 308(6), and 318(4). Police are now tracking others who may be linked to the racket and have appealed to the public to report such crimes without fear.
