JAIPUR: City police on Sunday arrested a 36-year-old woman in a case filed by a jeweller from Jhotwara, who in July 2023 reported that his wife disappeared with jewellery worth Rs 30 lakh, Rs 6.5 lakh in cash, and other valuables just months after their February wedding.
DCP (west) Amit Kumar said that the jeweller, a widower, said he met Seema Agarwal on a matrimonial app and they married at a ceremony in Mansarovar. However, in July, she vanished with the family’s valuables,
Seema Agarwal alias Nikki, a woman from Dehradun, targeted wealthy men through matrimonial apps, luring them into marriage before looting them and filing false legal cases against them, the DCP said.
A special team from Murlipura police station tracked Seema to her residence in Dehradun and arrested her. Her questioning revealed a pattern of similar crimes stretching over a decade. In 2013, she married a businessman’s son in Agra and allegedly extorted Rs 75 lakh by filing a domestic abuse case shortly after the wedding. In 2017, she allegedly targeted a software engineer in Gurugram, filing allegations of unnatural sex and rape against his cousin and extorting Rs 10 lakh.
Seema’s most recent scheme allegedly involved not only theft but also blackmail. After marrying the Jaipur jeweller, she allegedly filed false cases of unnatural sex against him and rape accusations against his family members in Dehradun, using the legal threats to extract more money.
DCP Kumar said Seema deliberately targeted wealthy widowed or divorced men from a specific community, leveraging matrimonial platforms to gather details about their financial status.
