Bittu Bajrangi, a famous cow guard from Faridabad, Haryana, was scammed by a man who promised to marry him to a woman he loved but he managed to trick him. $30,000 instead.
The police said that an FIR was registered against the accused and his associates on the basis of a complaint by Bajrangi, an accused in the 2023 Nuh communal riots, news agency PTI reported.
Bittu Bajrangi is a self-proclaimed cow guard who has been running his vigilante group for several years. Bajrangi is a fruit and vegetable trader in Ghazipur Market and Dabua Market in Faridabad, as mentioned in an earlier HT report.
Bajrangi alleged in the complaint that he told accused Bunty that he wanted to get married and that he should inform him if he knew of a suitable match. Bunty is said to be a relative of Bajrangi’s neighbour.
Bunty introduced Bajrangi to a woman named Rani. After this, he invited Bunty and Rani Bajrangi three times to Aligarh to meet potential matches, but he did not like any of them.
Bunty then sent Bajrangi a photo of a young woman he liked, the agency report said.
On September 5, 2025, Bunty and Rani visited Bajrangi’s house with the woman and her family, and the wedding date was set for February 7, according to the complainant.
The wedding procession was taken out and found no one
Bajrangi has reportedly been transferred $30 thousand to the accused on February 6 to buy clothes for the bride. When he arrived in Aligarh with his “wedding procession”, no one was there, the report said. However, Bajrangi said that it was a small group, including him and his late brother’s niece, who went to Aligarh for the wedding.
According to the complaint, the accused were not found at the scene and they turned off their mobile phones.
“When I called the bride, she said she did not know anything about the wedding and I had to return empty-handed,” Bajrangi was quoted as saying in his complaint.
As part of the agreement between Bajrangi and the accused, he had to pay them $1.20 lakh for wedding arrangements, a senior police officer said.
Based on the complaint, an FIR has been registered against Bunty, Rani and others at Saran police station here under relevant departments of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and investigation is underway, the officer said.
One of Bajrangi’s neighbors said that preparations were being made at his home to welcome the new bride, but in the end things took a turn.
Speaking to reporters, Bajrangi said he never wanted to get married, but agreed to do so to take better care of his late brother’s daughter, whom he said was abandoned by her mother after his brother’s death.
