Almost three months after the incident came to light, there has been no breakthrough in the ‘lootera dulha’ case of Lonavla, wherein a Ludhiana-based family was drugged before being robbed of their mobile phones and cash in August. The forensic analysis report related to the sedated mango shake which was offered to victims has also not arrived in the last 75 days.

The main accused Mohit Chaddha had created a fake profile on multiple matrimonial sites to trap divorcees looking to marry again. Chaddha claimed that he is financially sound and settled in Canada. The three fraudsters involved in the scam were Chaddha who posed as the groom, his alleged uncle Harjeet Singh, and their help Satish Rao. They gained the trust of a Ludhiana-based family who arrived at Mumbai airport on August 7. The family then travelled to Lonavala, where the fraudsters had booked a villa for six nights and deceived the victims during their stay.
