Kanpur, Nov. 18 -- A 30-year-old woman, who allegedly trapped men in staged relationships and marriages before extorting large sums using fabricated rape cases and harassment complaints, was arrested on Monday by Kanpur's Gwaltoli police. Identified as Divyanshi, the woman is accused of targeting more than a dozen men, including two bank managers and at least two serving police personnel, and routing crores of rupees through multiple bank accounts, the Kanpur police said. Police said Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 3(5), 308(2), 316(2), 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 82(2), 356(2), 352, 351(2 have been invoked in the case registered against her. According to Kanpur police, Divyanshi first came under the scanner after a complaint by sub-inspector Aditya Kumar Lochan, posted at Gwaltoli police station. Lochan alleged that Divyanshi, whom he married in February 2024, harassed him, extorted money, and filed a false rape case after their relationship deteriorated. Police said the officer attempted suicide twice due to sustained pressure and threats. "Preliminary scrutiny of her bank accounts showed unusually large transactions involving police personnel who were posted in Meerut earlier. Several accounts linked to her show transfers of crores of rupees," a senior Kanpur police officer said. Police said Divyanshi allegedly married two bank managers in the past and later filed rape complaints during trial proceedings, only to retract her statements in court. Officials claim she repeated the same pattern with a police sub-inspector posted in Meerut. Kanpur police said she also filed rape cases against three government employees, all of which ended in settlements. Lochan, a 2019-batch sub-inspector from Bulandshahr's Bibi Nagar, said the two married on February 17, 2024, with both families' consent. But soon after, Lochan said Divyanshi avoided staying at his home, citing exam preparations. According to his statement, when he checked her phone during a leave period four months after the wedding, he discovered "crores of rupees" transferred across more than ten bank accounts. After he confronted her, she left for her parental home. On November 25 last year, the police said, Divyanshi arrived at the commissioner of police's office and accused Lochan of harassment, siphoning off Rs 14.5 lakh, and maintaining relations with multiple women. Kanpur police said that after hearing both sides, the then commissioner Akhil Kumar ordered a detailed inquiry. The Special Investigation Team, probing 54 complaints linked to another case allegedly involving officials in Meerut, has also been asked to examine financial trails connected to Divyanshi. A senior Kanpur police official said, "Her arrest follows corroborated evidence that she extorted multiple victims by trapping them in relationships, filing fabricated cases, and demanding settlements."...
