Mumbai man marries woman at 70, loses flat worth Rs 3.5 crore

The accused woman, Renu Singh, 60, met the complainant in 2016, claiming to be from an NGO. Later, the complainant and the woman mutually decided to get married and tied the knot in 2019.

As per the septuagenarian’s police complaint, his deceased son’s wife had filed a petition in the high court over some property issues. Since his growing age did not support him in fighting the legal battle, he gave a power of attorney to his second wife, Renu Singh, with the sole purpose of fighting the court case.

In December 2020, Renu Singh allegedly took advantage of the complainant’s old age and allegedly wrongfully got the complainant’s Rs 3.61 crore from his bank account transferred to her name. When the complainant found this, he filed a criminal case against her in January 2021 at the Oshiwara police station, the complainant told Malad police.

On his complaint, the Malad police have booked Renu Singh under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code.
