The 23-year-old complainant, a resident of Allahabad, alleged that one Shan Mohammad, who was already married, connected with her through a fake Facebook profile under the name of Rahul Singh last year and after months of pursuing her, they got married in a temple on April 9 this year, police said.
She claimed that after coming to the native district of her husband she realised that he had lied to her about his identity following which she protested against the fraud.
According to the complainant, the accused's first wife, his brother and mother were also supportive of him.
She approached Superintendent of Police Kiran S on September 18 and registered her complaint following which an FIR was lodged against the four and investigations have been initiated in this matter.
