A shocking case of fraud has surfaced in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, leaving locals stunned. A man named Rinku, who had hoped for a happy married life, was left betrayed and drugged on his wedding night.

The incident occurred on May 4, when Rinku, son of Kusuma Devi, married a woman named Atima. The match was arranged by a middleman, who reportedly took Rs 1.20 lakh to finalise the wedding. The ceremony was held at a temple in Nagla Padi.

On the wedding night, the bride went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of milk for Rinku. She told him, “Wait, I’m coming." The next morning, both Rinku and his mother were found unconscious. Jewellery and cash from the house were missing—and so was the bride.

Groom’s Courage Exposes Fraud

Instead of giving in to despair, Rinku and his family began their own investigation. They grew suspicious of the ‘aunt’ and ‘uncle’ who had posed as the bride’s relatives during the wedding. After several days of searching in the Nagla Padi area, they identified the suspects and alerted the police.

The accused, Sunita and Rajendra, were arrested. During interrogation, they admitted that they had no real relation to the bride. They were paid by the middleman to pose as her aunt and uncle to make the wedding appear legitimate. Local witnesses also confirmed that the two mingled and interacted with guests to make their presence seem genuine.

Middleman The Mastermind

According to the victim’s family, the middleman, who lives in the Trans-Yamuna area, masterminded the entire plot. They allege that they had informed the police about him early on, but action was delayed. Rinku was even attacked during this time, prompting a separate FIR.

Frustrated by police inaction, the family approached BJP MLA Dr Dharampal Singh. It was only after his intervention that the police took swift action, registered a case, and arrested the fake relatives. Efforts are now underway to track down the bride. Police say her arrest is expected soon.
