Man Sentenced to Life for Rape and Cheating After False Marriage Claims in Chandigarh
A Chandigarh court sentenced Jagjit Singh, a Jalandhar resident, to life imprisonment for raping a woman after marrying her under false pretenses. He allegedly posed as an unmarried US citizen, hid two previous marriages, and cheated the victim's family of around Rs 75 lakh, including on visa-related expenses. While Singh was convicted, four co-accused were acquitted. The case was registered in 2022, and the court found sufficient evidence to convict Singh on charges including rape and cheating.
