The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Gyan Tiwari has filed a police complaint alleging he was duped into marrying his daughter to a conman who married 25 women using fake identities. Police have arrested Anuj Trivedi and his son Prakhar Trivedi. The complaint says Tiwari’s daughter Pragya married Prakhar in 2024 after the father claimed to be a Mumbai real estate businessman and concealed his criminal past.
About two-and-a-half years later, the family learned of Prakhar’s alleged activities through social media. Tiwari accused Prakhar of cheating several women across Maharashtra and other states of crores of rupees. The MLA said he severed ties and brought his daughter back. A case has been registered at Reusa police station.
The Indian Opinion
This case could fuel a narrative that arranged marriages are riddled with fraud, but the facts remain untested. The MLA’s complaint has weight because he is a public figure, yet the accused have not been convicted. The real test will be whether the police prove the claim of 25 marriages. If true, it exposes a deep gap in how families verify backgrounds. If false, the MLA must answer for poor due diligence and a social media campaign that could prejudice a fair trial.
