We’ve all heard about cases where men are entangled in false 498A dowry accusations. But what if we told you that even bachelors are being framed in fake dowry cases?

Take the story of Naman (name changed), a 26-year-old junior professor from Agra. After starting his new job, he was approached by a woman on WhatsApp. They exchanged a few messages, and just days later, he was shocked to receive a police notice for a dowry case.

Confused and alarmed, Naman investigated. It turned out that the woman had used his WhatsApp and Facebook photos, manipulated them in Photoshop, and forged a marriage certificate.

She claimed they had married in a temple and that he had thrown her out demanding dowry.

When Naman tried to file a counter-complaint, the police refused to support him, insisting on pursuing the woman’s claims.

His family faced harassment, and the woman demanded a 50-lakh rupee settlement.

Despite evidence that the mentioned temple does not conduct marriages, and that she used a hospital with damaged CCTV to forge abortion documents, the police continued pressing the case.

Four years later, Naman is still fighting for justice in court, unable to fully focus on his career.

His story is not unique; countless bachelors may be trapped in similar scams orchestrated by criminal gangs in collusion with corrupt officials. These stories rarely make headlines, but they’re a growing reality.

Stay vigilant, and share this to help protect others from falling victim to these schemes.
