Mumbai woman saves self from being duped, gets death threat

A Pakistani man allegedly posed as an Indian on a matrimonial site and intended to dupe a Mumbai woman. The woman soon got to know about his true identity and refused to marry him, thereupon instigating the Pakistani national to threaten to kill her. A complaint was then filed at the Versova Police Station.

On the supposed matrimonial site, the Pakistani man claimed he was an India-based doctor working in London and proposed marriage to the woman. The man had claimed he was from Nagpur and following the termination of his contract in the hospital he worked for in London, he would come back to India.

However, the woman began suspecting his intentions when she realised that he seemed to be reluctant to answer questions about himself, even though he would ask her about her hobbies and choices, a report said. In order to confirm her suspicions, she called up the London hospital where he claimed to work, only to be told that he was not an employee there.

The woman came to know about his original identity after he shared photographs of himself and his identity card of the hospital he purportedly worked with. In one of the pictures, the woman noticed a contact number of a photo studio.

The woman then made a phone call on the number which was picked up by a friend of the Pakistani man. He told her that the man whom she was talking to for so long was a Pakistani and that he was already married and had three children.

Realising that she was duped, the girl while having a conversation with the Pakistani national rejected his marriage proposal, following which he threatened her with murder. The woman then took matters in her own hands and filed a complaint in the Versova Police station.

The Versova Police took note of her complaint and registered complaint and registered a non-cognizable offence in the matter.
