She said she was a PCS officer: AAP leaders wedding turns into fraud case in Punjabs Fatehgarh Sahib
Punjab police have booked six persons after an AAP leader said his bride posed as an unmarried PCS officer and left with jewellery days after the wedding
PTC Web Desk: A wedding attended by top Punjab politicians has now turned into a police case. Amarinder Singh Mandofal, a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Fatehgarh Sahib, has alleged that he was cheated by the woman he married and her family.
The police have registered a case of fraud and forgery against six persons, including the woman, Manvinder Kaur.
What the AAP leader says
Mandofal is AAP's joint secretary, a Zila Parishad member and chairman of the Market Committee in Sirhind. He says the woman and her family told him before the wedding that she was a PCS officer and was unmarried. He also claims they gave a lower age for her. Based on this, the two were married in February 2026.

According to Mandofal, the truth came out only after the wedding. When he looked into her background, he found that she had been married before and was divorced. He says she also has a son who is about 18 years old. He alleges that this was hidden from him on purpose.
He has also claimed that documents were tampered with to make her look younger.
Jewellery allegedly taken
Mandofal alleges that a few days after the wedding, the woman left the house with gold and silver jewellery and other valuables. He then went to the police with a complaint. Besides Manvinder Kaur, the FIR names her brother, Tarlochan Singh, mother Varinderjit Kaur, Narinder Singh Goldy, a cousin, Rupinder Kaur, her sister-in-law and Surinder Singh Rana, former village sarpanch.
All accused are from Sursingh village, which falls under the Bhikhiwind police station area in Tarn Taran district.
The wedding was attended by several well-known AAP figures. Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Cabinet Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond were among those who reportedly came. Photos and videos from the celebrations, including leaders dancing bhangra, had also gone viral.
The police are looking into the allegations. The named accused are yet to be traced.
