A sexagenarian man from Odisha, who assumed fake identity of a doctor, was found to have married as many as 14 women across the country while money defrauded by him ran into crores of rupees.
Investigators were left stunned after stumbling upon the long list of cheats committed by the man. Most of those who fell into the trap of the man were highly placed working women.
The trickster, identified as Ramesh Chandra Swain, who posed as a senior officer in Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in names such as Bidhu Prakash Swain and Ramani Ranjan Swain, hails from Kendrapara district.
