Woman held for duping over 11 men in Kerala

Kochi - In total she had married 11 men in Kerala, Mumbai, Pune, Rajasthan and Indore

Loren Justin, a resident of Kochi, had registered a case in October against his wife Megha Bhargav, who, he alleged, had disappeared with jewellery worth Rs 15 lakh sometime after their marriage.
A team of Kerala Police along with their Noida counterparts has arrested a woman and her two accomplices for duping over 10 men of several lakhs of rupees and jewellery after marrying them, in sector 120 in Noida.
Kerala Police during investigation found that Justin was the fourth man duped by Bhargav in the state. She had married fourmen in Kerala and duped them all, police said on Sunday.
Megha had married Rajesh Goleja in Chattisgarh in 2012 and fled with Rs 90 lakh. In 2014, she married Hemant Kumar in Gujarat and got away with Rs 13 lakh. In 2015, she married Sandesh Chopra in Rajasthan and cheated him of Rs15 lakh. Arun Kumar of Surat lost Rs 10 lakh for marrying her. Even after a court ordered them to appear before police, they went into a hiding.
In total she had married 11 men in Kerala, Mumbai, Pune, Rajasthan and Indore, they said.
Bhargav used to target divorcees and men with physical disabilities, they said, adding some days after the marriage she used to give food laced with sedatives to her husband and his family members and then fled with cash and jewellery.
Dinesh Yadav, SP (City), said, "Woman was traced to a house in Amrapali Zodiac Society in sector 120 through electronic surveillance after which she was arrested last evening."
Her two accomplices were also arrested with her, police said.
