Read the full case details and legal outcome. Mumbai Sessions Court Delivers Justice in Matrimonial Fraud Case A Mumbai Sessions Court has sentenced 42-year-old Jayendra Dattatray Moranjan to 10 years in prison for raping and cheating a woman he met on a matrimonial website. The convict lured the woman under the false pretense of marriage, emotionally manipulated her, and financially exploited her. Multiple Identities and Deception Uncovered During the trial, it was revealed that Moranjan—unemployed at the time—used multiple fake identities including Rahul Ashitosh Patil, Sachin Misal, and Chetak Sudhir Bhavsar to trap women. The court, while noting he had no prior criminal record, emphasized the seriousness and repetitive nature of his offenses. Survivor Met Accused Through Matrimonial Site The survivor, a nurse and a divorcee since 2014, had registered on a popular marriage website at her family’s request. On June 18, 2016, she was contacted by someone identifying himself as Rahul Patil, who soon proposed marriage. He visited her home the next day and expressed mutual intent to marry. Trip to Shirdi Turns Into Nightmare Moranjan proposed a trip to Shirdi, citing a religious vow to visit the shrine of Sai Baba. The woman agreed, believing it was part of their courtship. However, during their stay at a hotel in Shirdi, he sexually assaulted her multiple times. False Engagement Promises and Financial Theft Moranjan convinced the woman’s family to begin engagement preparations, claiming his sister would arrive from the United States by July 28. On June 23, during a movie outing in Mumbai, he stole the woman’s ATM card and used the PIN she had written on the cover to withdraw funds. Repeated Assaults and Abandonment On July 2, Moranjan allegedly assaulted the woman again in Nashik. He then concocted a story about his grandmother being bitten by a snake in Mahabaleshwar and left the woman at her sister’s home. He had promised to send a vehicle for their engagement on July 5, but never followed through. Financial Loss and Threats Followed By this time, Moranjan had drained ₹1.5 lakh from her account. When the woman confronted him, he issued threats and warned her against contacting the police. He then cut off all communication with her and her family. Police Report and Legal Proceedings On July 17, 2016, the woman filed an FIR at the Vile Parle Police Station. Moranjan was soon arrested. A medical examination revealed the woman was pregnant, and she later underwent an abortion. Repeat Offender and Evidence Found Investigators discovered that Moranjan had similarly deceived and exploited at least four other women. Another ATM card belonging to a different woman was also recovered from his possession. The court acknowledged the survivor’s emotional and financial trauma and emphasized the repeated intent to defraud. Court’s Final Verdict Although Moranjan lacked a prior criminal record, the court ruled his actions demonstrated a persistent pattern of deception and exploitation. He was sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?
