In Simbhaoli police station area, a young woman hid her real identity and got married through fake documents and then escaped from the house with cash and jewelry. However, the police showed promptness and arrested the accused woman within a few hours of the incident.
The accused woman had made fake Aadhaar cards with two different names
Police investigation revealed that the real identity of the arrested woman has been identified as Masura Shaikh, who hails from West Bengal. Masura Shaikh, along with one of his associates Laxman, had planned this whole plan to cheat. He completely hid his real Muslim identity and address of Bengal. Seema, a resident of Udham Singh Nagar in Uttarakhand, described herself as a resident of Uttarakhand. To prove his false identity, he had also made fake Aadhaar cards and a fake PAN card in two different names.
Wedding in the temple
To win the trust of the victim’s family, the accused woman resorted to religious rituals. The marriage took place in the courtyard of a Shiva temple, where Masura Shaikh, who formed the boundary amidst chanting of mantras by the priest, wore a garland and took blessings in front of everyone. After this, on August 14, 2026, she came to the house of Vinod Kumar, a resident of village Lisdi, as a wife.
