Conman Held for Cheating Several Women by Entering into Fraudulent Marriages in Thane

A 37-year-old man has been arrested by city police for allegedly cheating several women across multiple states by luring them into fraudulent marriages and promising them overseas jobs, police said on Tuesday.

Suresh Ravindra, a native of Telangana, is suspected to have cheated his victims of Rs 90 lakh in total, said an official. He was apprehended at the New Delhi airport upon his return from Russia after a Look Out Circular (LOC) was



issued against him, the official said.

A Thane-based woman lodged a complaint against Ravindra at Kasarwadavali police station in the city last month. 

He contacted her through a matrimonial portal, and after she accepted his proposal, staged a fake marriage at a temple, the woman claimed. He then took Rs 48 lakh from her on the pretext of securing a job for her in Australia or Russia, the woman told police.
