Kerala Police on Sunday arrested a woman and her two accomplices in Nodia for cheating 11 men of several lakhs of rupees and valuables after marrying them, PTI reported. The crime came to light when Kochi-based Loren Justin filed a complaint against Megha Bhargav, who he alleged disappeared with jewellery worth Rs 15 lakh after he married her.

Further investigations revealed that Justin was the fourth man the accused had duped in the state. Officials said Bhargav had conned four men in Kerala, and the other victims were from Kerala, Mumbai, Pune, Rajasthan and Indore.

The woman, according to authorities, conned divorcees and men with physical disabilities before spiking their food with sedatives and fleeing with the valuables. Kochi Superintendent of Police Dinesh Yadav said, “The woman was traced to a house in Amrapali Zodiac Society [in Noida] through electronic surveillance.”
