His simple modus operandi is to advertise his attractive profile and picture on a matrimonial website, from where he entices his victims.
Chennai Joint Police Commissioner (North) M.Ravi said the suspect had officially married four girls but cheated many others.
"According to our initial investigations it could be more than 100 girls across India. He picked girls from places like Chennai, Nagpur, Kanpur and Mumbai. But so far no foreign girls were involved," he told Bernama when contacted.
Using fictitious names and disguising himself as senior government officer, a non-resident Indian or a software engineer living in the United Kingdom he would advertise himself as a potential bridegroom.
Impressed by his profile, several brides' families offered their daughter for marriage and after impressing them, the suspect socialises with the women, have physical contact and dupe them of their savings.
And in most cases he does not marry the girls.
His clandestine activity was exposed when the parents of two victims lodged police reports.
