Dehradun, Feb 15 (IBNS): In a bizarre incident, a 26-year-old woman from UP’s Bijnor district, who posed as a man and lured two women into marriage from Uttarakhand’s Nainital, has been arrested.

According to reports, she was booked for alleged domestic abuse of one of the women she married.

The woman has been identified as Sweety Sen from Dhampur in UP.

She reportedly tortured the woman, she married, for extracting dowry.

According to reports, Sweety Sen created a “fake” Facebook profile under the name -‘Krishna Sen’ in 2013.

She used to post photographs in male attires and lured women.

In 2014, Sen, along with her family, travelled from Dhampur to Kathgodam in Uttarakhand’s Nainital district to meet a 22-year-old woman, with the prospect of marriage.

They got married in the same year.

In 2016, Sen married a 20-year-old woman from Nainital district’s Kaladhungi area, and moved to Haridwar with her.

In October 2017, Sen’s first wife lodged a complaint that Sen had extracted Rs 8.5 lakh from her family.

Sen was absconding since then and was arrested on Wednesday by the Kathgodam Police.

It was during the police interrogation, Sen confessed to be a woman.
