Cow vigilante Bittu Bajrangi duped of ₹30,000 in fake marriage
Bittu Bajrangi, known for his cow protection activism, says he was tricked out of ₹30,000 in a fake marriage setup.
On February 7, he showed up at an Aligarh temple with his wedding party—only to realize there was no bride waiting.
The alleged scammers—Bunty (a neighbor's relative), Rani, and Pradeep—are now facing police action under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
FIR registered; no arrests yet
The whole thing started when Bunty introduced Rani to Bajrangi and arranged several meetings that didn't work out.
Eventually, the suspects brought a supposed bride and her family to Bajrangi's home last September and fixed a wedding date.
They collected ₹3,000 for travel plus another ₹30,000 just before the big day for clothes and logistics.
When Bajrangi called the bride on the wedding day, she denied everything—raising suspicions of fraud.
Police have registered an FIR based on Bajrangi's complaint; they say they are looking into the accounts where the money was transferred, and photographs and an alleged audio clip from earlier meetings are circulating.
Bajrangi has also accused a local police officer of siding with the suspects on Instagram; so far, no arrests have been made as investigations continue.
