Delhi Police have arrested Anand Kumar, a 35-year-old man from 24 Parganas, West Bengal, for allegedly defrauding over 500 women across dating apps and social media over the last seven years. Kumar reportedly posed as various professionals, including doctors and businessmen, without ever meeting his victims. He amassed approximately ₹2 crores (around $240,000 USD) through deceitful tactics. The police began tracking him after a woman from south Delhi reported losing ₹7 lakh (about $8,500 USD) to him. Kumar fabricated stories about medical emergencies and financial crises to solicit money, often promising marriage or professional opportunities in return. The investigation revealed he maintained over 30 social media accounts and used photos of lesser-known influencers to create his fake personas. Despite previous arrests in 2019 and 2023, he managed to evade long-term consequences until now.
