IIM Bangalore distances itself from alleged conman arrested for matrimonial fraud
Bengaluru: The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) has issued a statement distancing itself from Rahul Chaturvedi, an individual recently arrested by the Bisrakh Police for allegedly defrauding over 20 women across Delhi-NCR through fake matrimonial profiles. The institution clarified that Chaturvedi, who had falsely claimed to be an alumnus, has no association with IIM Bangalore.
Chaturvedi, an IIM graduate according to earlier media reports, was apprehended after a woman filed a complaint accusing him of swindling her out of ₹2 lakh and an iPhone. He had reportedly posed as a high-ranking executive on matrimonial websites, including Jeevansathi.com and Better Half, luring women into romantic relationships and extorting money and expensive items under the pretense of marriage. His modus operandi involved creating fake profiles and using forged documents, including salary slips, to appear wealthy and credible.
Following Chaturvedi’s arrest, several prominent media outlets published reports labeling him as an IIM Bangalore alumnus, a claim that has since been categorically denied by the institution. In a press release, IIMB stated:
"Media reports have captioned one Mr. Rahul Chaturvedi, recently arrested by Noida Police on charges of alleged fraud, as an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB). We have no record of such an individual being our alumnus and categorically deny any association with this individual."
The institution further expressed concern over the propagation of this misinformation without proper verification. "We are deeply concerned by such reports in several prominent media outlets, including major national publications, which erroneously state that Mr. Chaturvedi is an 'IIM Bangalore graduate.' This misinformation has been propagated without any verification from our institution," the statement added.
The Bisrakh Police, who are handling the case, revealed that Chaturvedi has admitted to scamming at least 20 women using his false identities. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts being made to identify and contact additional victims.
