Navi Mumbai police arrested a 35-year-old man from Palghar for allegedly cheating 16 women on the pretext of marriage. The accused, identified as Sachin Sambre, was nabbed after a woman lodged a complaint, reported The Times of India.
After divorcing his first wife, Sambre was living with second wife in Thane. He had made profiles on various matrimonial sites and claimed to be a bachelor working for an MNC.
