Mumbai: Husband Saves Wife From Suicide Attempt After Being Duped of Rs 33 Lakh by Fake Astrologer

A deeply moving and disturbing incident has come to light from Mumbai, highlighting the dangers of online deception, as well as the power of trust, repentance, and unconditional love.

According to reports, a 36-year-old woman fell prey to a fraudulent individual on social media who posed as an astrologer. The accused allegedly gained her trust by sharing personal details about her family and gradually manipulated her into a deceptive relationship.

What initially appeared to be guidance soon turned into exploitation. The accused reportedly lured the woman, sexually exploited her, recorded objectionable videos, and later used them to blackmail her. Under pressure, the woman was allegedly forced to hand over nearly ₹33 lakh in cash, along with gold and her lifetime savings.

Traumatised by continuous mental harassment, fear, and guilt, the woman reportedly slipped into severe emotional distress and decided to end her life.

However, in a dramatic turn of events, her husband’s timely action saved her. Before attempting suicide, the woman sent him an emotional message confessing her actions and expressing her intent to end her life.

Shocked by the message, the husband immediately reached out to her and kept her engaged in conversation. He reportedly reassured her continuously, expressing his support and urging her not to take any extreme step. After nearly one hour and forty-five minutes of effort, he managed to reach home.

Upon arrival, he embraced his wife, who broke down and revealed the entire incident. In a powerful display of compassion and support, the husband not only forgave her but also stood by her during the crisis.

The couple later approached the police and filed a complaint. Authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter.
