Law enforcement agencies in India have conducted several operations targeting matrimonial-related crimes and fraud.

In Delhi, authorities arrested a man declared a proclaimed offender in a dowry case. Additionally, the Delhi High Court denied bail to an individual accused of sexual offenses involving the use of nine fake matrimonial profiles to target victims.

Expanding on these types of offenses, police in Madhya Pradesh dismantled an interstate matrimonial cyber fraud racket. This gang allegedly cheated victims of over Rs 11 crore across more than 100 cases by using fake profiles and impersonating family members or officials. The investigation into this racket led to the arrest of six individuals from Rajasthan and Bihar, with authorities noting suspected international links.
