A man posed as a groom to scam a divorced woman out of gold jewelry in Delhi and was arrested by the police within a day.
In a troubling case of deceit in Delhi, a man approached a divorced woman under the pretense of marrying her, subsequently tricking her into handing over her gold jewelry worth lakhs.
