The Mumbai Police have registered a case against a 31-year-old married man from Dadar for allegedly posing as a police sub-inspector on a matrimonial website, sexually assaulting a woman, and cheating several others. The accused, identified as Vaibhav Narkar, also allegedly duped around 100 job seekers by promising them positions in government and police departments.

Investigators said Narkar created fake matrimonial profiles using his photograph in police uniform to lure women. One of his victims, a 33-year-old woman from Chembur, was allegedly trapped in a fake relationship that led to a “court marriage” and later raped and financially exploited.
