Man arrested for marrying six women in Bihar

Rohtas (Bihar), Aug 29: A man posing as an officer of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) wedded not once or twice, but six times in the last one decade. 

Since all the six girls belonged to different places, they had no inkling about his previous dalliances. But one fine evening, lady-luck ran out and the conman was eventually arrested and sent to jail. 

Around 10 years back, Vijay Kumar Singh, a native of Noorsarai in Biharsharif, went to his sister’s house in Ramgarh (Jharkhand). There, he fell in love with Nita, a resident of Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. They tied the knot in March 2002 and had three children. 

Three years later, Vijay met Pushpa, a woman constable with the Jharkhand police. Posing as an IB officer, he befriended her. Pushpa fell into Vijay’s trap and the couple married. Later, Vijay convinced her to apply for a bank loan, through which he purchased a car. 

In the subsequent years, he married Nitu (from Patratu), Sheela (Ranchi) and Soni (Ranchi). 

Vijay also managed to extract a heavy sum as dowry from each of the five families. In March 2012, he took the marital vow for the sixth time when he married Poonam, daughter of a bank employee from Bihar’s Rohtas district. 

For the first few months, the couple led a happy conjugal life, as Vijay told his Poonam that he was on a long leave after completion of a mission. But one fine evening, Vijay was caught on the wrong foot when two of his previous wives called him up on his cell phone, making his in-laws suspicious. 

As Poonam contacted his previous wives, hell broke loose. An FIR was lodged, following which Vijay was apprehended by the police. “We interrogated him and found that Vijay, posing as an IB officer, had married six girls in the last 10 years. He has been forwarded to jail,” Rohtas SP, Manu Maharaj, told Deccan Herald on Monday.
