The charade continued for several days until one morning the bride’s father woke up to find cash and jewellery missing from the house. The distraught father filed a case at

alias Kabir Sharma on February 13. “I gave Rs 11 lakh in cash, jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh and other gifts to the tune of Rs 1.5 lakh to Imran on the wedding day. He was posing as one Kabir Sharma, a native of Jaipur and took part in all the rituals,” the father told cops in his FIR, adding that the accused posed as a
