A woman has been arrested from Uttar Pradesh for luring a 45-year-old man from Madhya Pradesh into a fake marriage after spotting him in a viral social media reel, only to kill him hours later in a plot to seize his property.

The body of the deceased, identified as Indra Kumar Tiwari, a resident of Jabalpur, was recovered on June 6 from a drain in the Hata area of Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar. 

According to the police, the man had been stabbed to death. Initially, the body remained unidentified, but later the police matched it to a missing person case from Jabalpur weeks after the incident.

The police said that the mastermind behind the murder is Sahiba Bano, who assumed the identity of Khushi Tiwari, to lure the man. After seeing a reel where Tiwari shared his struggles with being unmarried and mentioned owning 18 bighas of land, Sahiba devised a plan to ensnare him.

Sahiba contacted him through social media, faked her identity using a forged Aadhaar card and convinced him to come to Gorakhpur. After that, with the help of two accomplices, she staged a fake marriage ceremony and murdered Tiwari just hours later, dumping his body in a drain.

During the investigation, police discovered that the accused planned to use the wedding photos to lay claim to his land by posing as his widow.

Sahiba and her two associates, including a man named Kushal, have been arrested. Authorities said that Kushal had also been duped into a similar staged marriage earlier this year. Police believe he was lured with promises of money from the land’s sale post-murder.
