A woman from Surat in Gujarat has accused a man of exploiting her trust, defrauding her of ₹40 lakh, and subjecting her to emotional and physical abuse for over seven years.
The victim, 39-year-old Shweta, was allegedly lured into a relationship under false promises of marriage. The accused, Samir Ayub Kaka, allegedly exploited her trust, coercing her into an intimate relationship and extorting money from her. Over the years, she claims to have given him approximately ₹40 lakh.
According to information available, 13 years ago, Shweta came into contact with Samir Ayub. After a period of time, when they developed a relationship, Samir proposed marriage to her. Shweta declined the proposal as Samir belonged to a Muslim community. In response, Samir emotionally blackmailed her, threatening to die by suicide if she did not marry him.
He then manipulated her emotions and in 2015, Samir took her to a hotel in Ubhrat, Surat. There, he introduced her as his wife and booked a room under their names. They became physically intimate in the room. Afterward, he began asking Shweta for money under various pretexts, eventually collecting ₹40 lakh from her.
Samir then began to blackmail Shweta by showing her private photos, demanding that she convert to Islam if she wished to marry him. After obtaining the money from Shweta, Samir fled to Africa. When Shweta demanded the money back, Samir’s family also refused her request.
Following which, Shweta has filed a police complaint against Samir and his sister, and the investigation is currently underway.
