Bhopal: Married man marries again, booked for duping 21-year-old

Bhopal: A man, who was married to a cop’s daughter for four years, married a 21-year-old woman during lockdown. The accused even brought his fake parents and relatives at the bride’s house to attend the ceremony. The accused told his first wife that he is in Betul for some work and can’t come back due to the lockdown.

The incident came to light within two days of his marriage, as his new wife picked up a call on his cell phone while he was in the washroom. The caller introduced herself as the wife of the accused. Subsequently, the matter was reported to Awadhpuri police on Thursday. Both wives were called to file a complaint. The man’s first wife has sought time. Meanwhile, acting on the complaint filed by the second wife, police registered a case against the accused on charges of duping the woman by concealing the information of first marriage and started investigations. The accused was on the run and search was on to nab him.
