A man has been arrested in Chandigarh on charges of deception and fraud following a complaint filed in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district. According to the complainant, a 28-year-old woman from Deoria, the accused man, identified as Salman, introduced himself as Sandeep and entered into a live-in relationship with her spanning seven years.
The woman alleged that the man promised to marry her while concealing his true identity. During their time together, the couple had three children. The arrangement remained undetected in the Dhampura area of Bijnor until recently, when his real identity was revealed through an Aadhar card verification process.
Local authorities were alerted after the truth emerged, prompting a police investigation. The accused was subsequently tracked down and arrested from Chandigarh. Police have registered a case against him based on the woman's complaint, which includes charges related to fraud, deception, and breach of promise.
The case highlights vulnerabilities in relationships involving undocumented arrangements and raises questions about identity verification mechanisms in rural communities. Authorities have initiated further investigation into the matter.
