Trisha, the managing director of five startup companies, reportedly came across the profile of Pranav, a TV music channel anchor, on a matrimonial website. Subsequently, she reached out to Pranav, only to face rejection when he declined her marriage proposal. Following this rejection, Pranav was allegedly abducted, with Trisha enlisting the help of her friends in the process. Pranav managed to escape from captivity and promptly alerted the authorities, seeking assistance in the matter.
The Matrimonial Profile Was Fake
However, upon investigation, it was discovered that Pranav’s matrimonial profile had been falsely created by an unidentified individual. The woman had initially connected with someone named Chaitanya Reddy through the Bharat Matrimonial website two years prior. As their interaction progressed, they began communicating via WhatsApp and Instagram. Police investigations have unveiled intriguing details in this regard.
After a while, the individual purportedly asked the woman to invest in his business, assuring lucrative returns. Allegedly, Trisha transferred Rs 40 lakh to this person through UPI. However, after receiving the funds, the individual reportedly started ignoring her.
Upon realizing that she had been deceived, the woman contacted the phone number provided on the profile, which belonged to Pranav. He informed her that an unknown individual named Chaitanya Reddy had utilized his photo to fabricate a false account on Bharat Matrimony, and he had already filed a complaint with the cyber cell.
