The allegations state that the men used false identities and misrepresented their professional backgrounds to deceive women into marriages. Investigations indicate that Anuj Trivedi allegedly posed as a Mumbai-based real estate businessman to facilitate approximately 25 fraudulent marriages across multiple states. The deception was reportedly uncovered through social media and other sources roughly two and a half years after the MLA's daughter married Prakhar in 2024.
