New wife, 2 others cheat labourer of Rs 1L

Vadodara: A labourer working at Amul Dairy’s plant in Anand was conned by three women including his newly wedded wife. The three women took Rs 1.1 lakh from the victim and fled to never return within 10 days of his marriage.
The victim, Jaimin Parmar, was cheated by Afsanabanu Saiyed, who ran a marriage bureau, his newly wedded wife Usha Patil and her aunt Shobha Jadav in August.
Parmar said that after divorcing his first wife, he wanted to marry again so he got in touch with Saiyed through a relative. In February, Saiyed introduced many women to Parmar but he did not like any.
After the lockdown, Parmar was introduced to Patil and as they agreed to marry each other, their marriage was fixed for July 31. On the day of the wedding, Parmar paid Saiyed Rs 50,000 as her commission. On August 9, Jadav went to meet the couple at their home on New Sama Road.
She told Parmar that she would take Patil for a few days to their native place Aurangabad for a ceremony. While they were leaving, Parmar gave Rs 60,000 to Jadav for wedding expenses.
Two days later when Parmar called Patil, she did not talk properly with him and hung up the phone. When Parmar called again, Patil switched her phone off. “The victim had married the woman within a fortnight and they had not spent many days together. Hence, he does not know much about her background and where she hails from,” said a police official. Parmar had even contacted Saiyed as she had taken the responsibility, but she too did not respond to him.
An offence of cheating was registered based on Parmar’s complaint at Fatehgunj police station.
