According to Shakti Avasthi, DCP Central Noida, Chaturvedi created premium accounts on matrimonial websites to make his profile appear credible and gain the&nbsp;women's trust. He would present fake salary slips and promise marriage, establishing trust.&nbsp;

He did this not only with the women but also with their families.&nbsp;

To further his scheme, Chaturvedi even impersonated his father by changing his voice during conversations with the victims' families. He was arrested by Bisrakh police, who are now investigating his criminal activities.

This case follows another incident in the national capital where just last week a man was arrested for duping over 50 women across several states.&nbsp;

Using matrimonial sites, he posed as a government official and targeted unmarried, widowed, or divorced women. He convinced them to buy expensive gifts and flight tickets, which he later converted into cash. He would also make them buy him flight tickets to travel to different cities.
