Jabalpur, MP : 45-year-old man from Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur, who had shared details of his 18-acre land and unmarried status with Aniruddhacharya Maharaj, was allegedly murdered by a woman who faked her identity to marry him and seize his property. The victim, Indrakumar Tiwari was a part-time teacher and farmer from Padwar in Jabalpur district had spoken publicly during a spiritual gathering last month. He expressed frustration over not finding a bride and shared that he had no one to look after his farmland.
A video from the event, now widely circulated, shows Indrakumar telling Aniruddhacharya about his 18-acre property. Then Aniruddhacharya responded playfully rather than offering serious advice, suggesting Indrakumar become a “sadhu” and donate his land for public welfare. The viral video reportedly attracted the attention of fraudsters. Shortly after, Indrakumar Tiwari went missing, and on June 6, his body was found in bushes along National Highway 28 in Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar district, with a knife lodged in his neck.
Kushinagar SP said, "Initial investigation revealed that a woman named Sahiba Bano posed as “Khushi Tiwari” and reached out to Indrakumar via social media with a marriage proposal. She used a forged Aadhaar card to fake her identity and persuaded him to travel to Gorakhpur. Khushi Tiwari contacted Indrakumar and proposed marriage to him. He agreed to marry her. The woman then laid a trap along with her associates.”
"In Gorakhpur, Sahiba Bano posing as “Khushi Tiwari” with the help of two accomplices, staged a fake wedding ceremony and murdered Indrakumar Tiwari just hours later. His body was dumped in a drain. Police said Indrakumar had informed his family that he was heading to Kushinagar to marry "Khushi." The man reached Gorakhpur and the two got married. His body was found days later. It is suspected that the woman and her associates killed him and escaped with some jewellery and cash that he was carrying. But later Sahiba has been arrested. She had made a fake Aadhaar card as well. A detailed probe is underway.”
