Kohima: Delhi Police shut down a matrimonial fraud ring this week. Officers arrested Kouadio Victor Nda, a 36-year-old Ivory Coast national living in the country illegally, along with his live-in partner, 30-year-old Anei Konyak from Nagaland. The pair operated out of a rented house in Uttam Nagar.
The duo hooked victims on matrimonial sites. They promised marriage and built fake romantic bonds to squeeze money from unsuspecting women. Konyak handled the cash. She pulled funds from ATMs while the pair assumed her local presence drew less heat than a foreign national. A senior officer noted, "Konyak’s role extended beyond cash withdrawals, as she was also allegedly involved in contacting victims over the phone as part of the fraud scheme."
The bust followed a targeted operation by the Dwarka district Anti-Narcotics Cell. Police tracked the suspects through intelligence and surveillance. During the raid, officers seized a laptop, five phones, a passport, and four debit cards tied to mule accounts. Those cards linked the pair to a fraud case in Dibrugarh, Assam.
The investigation is ongoing. Police are currently hunting other members of the network. The two suspects now face charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Immigration and Foreigner Act.
