Greater Noida: The Bisrakh Police have arrested Rahul Chaturvedi, an IIM graduate, for allegedly duping over 20 women across Delhi-NCR by luring them into romantic relationships through fake profiles on matrimonial websites. Chaturvedi, hailing from Lucknow's Sahara Building, posed as a high-ranking executive to gain the trust of his victims, swindling them out of money and valuable items.

Operating under false identities, Chaturvedi used matrimonial sites like Jeevansathi.com and Better Half, presenting himself as an HR Regional Manager at Wipro.
