Now wife No-19 files complaint against Matric fail fake doctor Ramesh Swain for duping Rs 21 lakh

Bhubaneswar: Yet another complaint of duping has been filed against the Matric fail fake doctor Ramesh Swain. A lady doctor from Guwahati has filed a police complaint against Ramesh Swain alleging that he had married her and duped Rs 21 lakh as well.

According to reports, Ramesh Swain married the woman medico in Guwahati in the month of May, 2021 during the COVID pandemic. He married the lady in the presence of his brother-in-law Ganesh and driver Papu.

After marriage, Ramesh Swain and his associates stayed in a five-star hotel in Guwahati. Later, they came to Bhubaneswar and lived in an apartment. As per their prior plan, the fake doctor’s stepmother, sister and Hindu priest made all arrangements as per the Vedic rituals for the lady doctor’s entry into the house.

Sister of Ramesh also had allegedly taken gold ornaments, mobile phone and costly saree from the lady doctor as Nananda Putuli (some gifts which a woman usually gives to the younger sister of her husband).

Based on the complaint, cops recorded her statement under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, said sources adding that the statement of the accused brother-in-law and sister of Ramesh will be recorded.

It is to be noted here that Ramesh by introducing himself as a doctor, a senior officer of the Ministry of Health and the Medical Council of India, had married at least 18 women from different states and duped them of lakhs of rupees. He was arrested by the Odisha police on February 14.

During investigations, the police found that Ramesh’s sister had helped him in marrying multiple women, and arrested her.

The Odisha police have received several complaints from the people of West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, who have been created by Ramesh.

According to Bhubaneswar DCP, Umashankar Dash, police have received a complaint from a businessman from Kolkata alleging that Ramesh had taken hatchery machines from him claiming that the Union government is procuring them. However, the businessman is yet to receive the payment, he said.

“We have sealed Ramesh’s poultry farm in Patkura area of Kendrapara district where six such machines have been installed. The case has been transferred to the local police station for further investigation,” the DCP said.

Similarly, a businessman from Andhra Pradesh had lodged a complaint with the commissionerate police here on Tuesday, accusing Ramesh of duping him of Rs 4.5 lakh.

Claiming to be a senior officer looking after the environment wing of the health ministry, Ramesh placed an order of Rs 4.5 lakh with the nursery and gave a fake cheque. He also gave another fake cheque for Rs 6,500 to the truck driver who had brought the plants to Bhubaneswar, the police said.

After receiving the complaint, the police sealed a farmhouse registered in the name of the second wife of Ramesh. The farmhouse is spread over 15-20 acres of land located near Khuntuni area of Dhenkanal district.

“If required, we will allow the Andhra businessman to identify his saplings and take them back,” Dash said.

Apart from that, a person from Jagatsinghpur district alleged that Ramesh had taken Rs 18 lakh from him to help him get admission in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

Ramesh had registered his two vehicles by submitting fake documents. For this, another case has been registered against him.

“The remand of accused Ramesh Swain is ending today. As we have received about 15 complaints against him, we will seek another seven-day custodial remand of Ramesh,” the DCP added.

The commissionerate police has formed a special team for comprehensive investigation of all complaints registered against Ramesh.

Ramesh, a matric fail, had married at least 18 middle-aged single women including two Supreme Court lawyers, Delhi school teacher, police officer and doctor and acquired their money before abandoning them.

Ramesh married the women through matrimonial sites like Jeevansathi.com, Shaadi.com and Bharatmatrimony.com. The interesting part is that Ramesh has saved the phone numbers of several women as wife one, wife doctor, wife Bhilai, wife teacher, wife Guwahati, wife Bangalore, to be wife Dhenkanal, to be wife Jagatsinghpur and so on in his mobile phone.
