Just as Sonam Kapoor (Dolly) married multiple men in Bollywood movie Dolly ki Doli? and robbed her husbands off their valuables, Amrute allegedly recreated the same scenes! In last three months, Amrute married three men and ran away with their valuables within few days of the marriage.
Officials said that she was already married and had a son. After both, Mr and Mrs Amrute, lost their jobs, the wife joined a racket involved in dumping men with the intentions to make money.
First she married Yogesh Shirsath, of Nashik and ran away with his ornaments on the fortnight of the marriage.
Then she married Sandeep Darade, of Karjat and disappeared with valuables after few days of the marriage. Few weeks ago she tied knot with a man from the Western ghats and flew with his jewelry and money.
The entire incident saw the light of the day when Shirsath filed a complaint against Amrute for robbery after marrying him. Police said that this was a well-organised plan, as Amrute joined a racket involved in dumping men after marrying them.
Officials arrested Amrute on Saturday and said, We will expose the racket soon. Amrute is cooperating with us. We strongly advice to look for the signs, never fall for such traps, these rackets can be dangerous.”
