matrimonial fraud

Pune City Police have arrested Adarsh Mhatre, a 34-year-old from Alibag in Raigad district, for allegedly defrauding dozens of women across Maharashtra. Investigators accuse him of using fake profiles on matrimonial websites, masquerading as an ISRO scientist named Swapnil Warule to extract money under false marriage promises. This case exposes vulnerabilities in online matchmaking, where trust built through forged documents leads to substantial financial losses.
