Bihar police announced the arrest of several individuals linked to the criminal outfit dubbed the ‘Robber Bride’ gang. The suspects had allegedly targeted a family from Rajasthan, promising a marriage alliance that turned out to be a fabricated ceremony designed to extort money.
Investigators say the gang used fake wedding invitations and forged documents to lure the victims to Bihar, where they attempted to extract cash and valuables under the pretext of wedding expenses. The operation culminated in a coordinated raid by local police, resulting in the detention of the accused and the seizure of counterfeit paperwork.
Authorities have opened a case under sections relating to fraud, cheating and criminal conspiracy.

The incident highlights a growing trend of marriage‑related scams across state lines, prompting police in several regions to issue advisories urging citizens to verify the authenticity of matrimonial arrangements before proceeding.
No injuries were reported, and the victims have been escorted back to Rajasthan pending further legal proceedings.
