Four Arrested in Fake Marriage Scheme in Vijayawada
Imagine a family looking for a bride for their son.
They met some people who promised to find one.
These people found a woman who was already married and had kids, but pretended to be single.
The family liked her and a wedding was held.
The people who found the bride then asked for money, claiming the bride's family needed it.
After the wedding, the bride refused to act like a wife.
The family found out they'd been tricked and called the police.
The woman who pretended to be the bride said she was paid to act that way.
Now, the police have arrested those involved.
Four individuals were arrested in Vijayawada for orchestrating a fake marriage.
A Telugu family from Karnataka sought a bride for their 34-year-old son.
A gang introduced a married woman with two children as a bride.
The gang collected a total of Rs.4 lakh from the groom's family.
The groom's family discovered the fraud when the 'bride' refused to consummate the marriage.
