A woman working as a marketing manager in a private hospital lost Rs 4.6 lakh in the matrimony fraud. Believing the stranger whom she met on a matrimony website, the victim deposited the money when she was told that her prospective groom was stuck in Doha airport.


The woman, native of Bengaluru works as a marketing manager in a reputed private hospital in Punjagutta. She created a profile on Bharat Matrimony website seeking a prospective groom in June this year. Soon, she received a request from one Vijay Kumar, claiming to be a petrochemical engineer with Lyondell Basel Industries in UK, but posted in South Atlantic Petroleum Limited in the Cotonou Republic of Benin. Soon they exchanged mobile numbers and started talking to each other. They decided to meet in Hyderabad in the third week of July.


On July 18, she received a call from Vijay informing her that his luggage was held at Doha International Airport in Qatar and the customs officials want money to release it. After paying Rs 60,000 she received an email that Vijay was being deported back to Benin as he did not clear the customs obligations.
