In Sarai Inayat, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, Ramakrishna Dubey (alias Rahul), a food delivery boy, initiated a romantic relationship with a teenager named Khushboo from his village, Dalapur. After court-marrying her on October 19, 2023, and later solemnizing a temple marriage on November 30, 2024, Rahul rented a room in Prayagraj to live with her due to family disapproval. Approximately five months later, Rahul began making excuses about night shifts to remain away from home. Suspicious of his behavior, Khushboo called his phone, which was answered by another woman named Shivangi. Shivangi revealed that she was also Rahul's wife, having married him with full family approval. Upon learning about each other, both women realized they had been deceived. When confronted, Rahul and his family allegedly harassed, threatened, and physically assaulted Shivangi before throwing her out, while Rahul also threatened and abandoned Khushboo. Rather than turning against each other, Khushboo and Shivangi joined forces. Khushboo moved into Shivangi's parental home, and both wives filed police complaints against Rahul for bigamy, dowry harassment, assault, and blackmail. Police arrested Rahul and sent him to jail.

धोख़ेबाज़ पति को सज़ा दिलाने साथ आई दो सौतनें.. दिमाग़ घुमा देगी कहानी
Infidelity
The suspect engaged in severe romantic deception by pursuing a secret marriage while simultaneously agreeing to a traditional family-arranged marriage. He maintained dual domestic lives by constructing fake work schedules ('night shifts') to explain long absences. When exposed, his behavioral pattern shifted from romance to threat, emotional abuse, and physical assault against both women.
Police in Prayagraj investigated complaints filed separately by Khushboo and Shivangi detailing bigamy, dowry harassment, physical assault, and blackmail. Digital evidence including video call logs, messages, and photo evidence was submitted to investigators. Ramakrishna Dubey alias Rahul was arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
Initially, both wives were unaware of each other's existence. When Khushboo called Rahul's phone and reached Shivangi, both women initially suspected the other of lying or impersonation before comparing facts and realizing they were both legally married to the same man.
Rahul established a secret court and temple marriage with Khushboo while hiding it from his family. Simultaneously, he entered a second formal marriage with Shivangi under family approval. To balance both relationships, he invented long night shifts at his delivery job. Khushboo's phone inquiry led to a direct conversation with Shivangi, uncovering the deception and bringing both victims together to seek legal recourse.
The case exhibits strong indicators of escalating coercive control, financial deception, gaslighting, threats, and physical domestic violence once the secret bigamy was exposed. Although no lethal injury occurred, the offender's readiness to assault and threaten the victims demonstrated high risk prior to police intervention.
Unexplained drastic shifts in routine combined with evasive phone behavior and sudden hostility can serve as early warning signs of secret dual lives or major deception. Mutual victim solidarity enabled both women to combine digital evidence and secure legal action.
Rahul's sudden requirement to work overnight 'night shifts', extended 24-hour absences, refusal to answer phone calls, locking his mobile phone, and aggressive responses when questioned.
A phone call placed by Khushboo to Rahul's mobile was answered directly by Shivangi, allowing both women to discover they were both married to him.
Digital communication logs, video call records, messaging history, photos of marriage ceremonies, and physical assault complaints handed over to the police.
Not reported.
Initial perceptions of a personal marital conflict evolved into a criminal investigation for bigamy, dowry harassment, physical abuse, and blackmail once both victims provided corroborating evidence.
The final court disposition and sentencing details regarding Ramakrishna Dubey alias Rahul remain ongoing.
