How the “Looteri Dulhan” Duped Rich Men for ₹1.25 Crore: A Marriage Fraud Spanning a Decade

Seema, also known as Nikki, the Looteri Dulhan, has been arrested for a decade-long con where she used marriages to defraud wealthy men, collecting a staggering ₹1.25 crore through settlements and theft. Her story reveals a calculated scheme that spanned three marriages across different states, targeting vulnerable individuals on matrimonial platforms.

The First: Agra Businessman Targeted

In 2013, Seema married a businessman from Agra. Shortly after the wedding, she filed a legal case against his family, leading to a settlement where she received ₹75 lakh. This marked the beginning of her pattern of exploiting legal systems to extort money.

Second Marriage: Gurugram Software Engineer

In 2017, Seema married a software engineer from Gurugram. The marriage was short-lived, ending in another settlement where she claimed ₹10 lakh from her husband before parting ways.

Third Act: Theft in Jaipur

Seema’s latest victim was a businessman in Jaipur, whom she married in 2023. This time, she escalated her methods, fleeing his home with jewellery and cash worth ₹36 lakh. The family filed a police complaint, leading to her arrest by Jaipur Police.

How She Chose Her Victims

Investigations revealed Seema’s systematic approach. Using matrimonial websites, she sought out wealthy men who were divorced or widowed, leveraging their emotional vulnerabilities to her advantage. By marrying in different states, she avoided immediate detection while building her fraudulent empire.

Arrest and Ongoing Investigation

Jaipur Police are uncovering the extent of Seema’s activities, which span multiple states and victims. Her ability to evade suspicion for so long has raised concerns about potential accomplices and other victims who may not have come forward yet.

A Warning for Matrimonial Platform Users

Seema’s case highlights the risks associated with online matrimonial platforms. Authorities are urging users to exercise caution, verify profiles, and conduct thorough background checks before committing to relationships.

Seema’s arrest brings closure to a decade-long fraud but serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of emotional and financial exploitation. Her calculated deception underscores the importance of vigilance in personal relationships, especially in an increasingly digital world
