20 Girlfriends, 2 Wives: Fake Cop From Muzaffarnagar Duped Women In 4 States
Last Updated: Naushad Tyagi targeted widowed or separated women, changing his identity based on their religion to deceive them—using Hindu names for Hindus and a Muslim name for Muslim women In a shocking case of fraud and impersonation, a man from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, has been arrested for allegedly duping multiple women using fake identities. The accused, Naushad Tyagi, posed as a constable with the Uttar Pradesh Special Operations Group (SOG) and assumed different aliases to deceive women over the years. Tyagi reportedly changed his identity based on the religion of the woman he targeted. Tyagi is believed to have had two wives, 20 girlfriends, and physical relations with at least 10 women. He was arrested on July 1 from Charthawal. The case traces back to Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, where Tyagi was living with a friend who worked as a police constable. When his friend departed for Madhya Pradesh due to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he inadvertently left his uniform and other belongings with Tyagi. This marked the beginning of Tyagi's deceitful exploits. He donned the uniform and relocated to Muzaffarnagar, presenting himself as a police constable. In Muzaffarnagar, Tyagi's first wife, who is 23 years older than him, and his second wife living in Civil Lines area, were unaware of his double life. Tyagi targeted women, primarily those who were widowed or separated from their husbands, and deceived them by changing his identity based on their religion—Rahul or Ricky for Hindu women, and Naushad for Muslim women. According to police, Tyagi's web of deceit extended across four states, including Delhi, Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr, Mathura, Sambhal, Muzaffarnagar, Meghalaya, and Assam. He duped approximately 20 women by assuming different names and developed physical relations with 10 of them, exploiting the trust they placed in him as a supposed UP Police constable. Tyagi also used the guise of the police uniform to earn money through illegal means. To intimidate those around him, he befriended local policemen and frequently moved around the area with them under the pretext of treating them. The scandal unravelled when Tyagi ensnared a widow running a shop in Muzaffarnagar. Introducing himself as Rahul Tyagi, he frequented her shop and feigned affection, promising marriage. Under this pretense, he extorted about 2 lakh 75 thousand rupees and later persuaded her to part with jewellery worth 3 lakh rupees. When he started avoiding her marriage talks, the woman grew suspicious and reported him to the police. Upon investigation, the police arrested Tyagi while he was preparing to flee and find new victims. They discovered objectionable photos and videos of numerous women on his mobile and various name plates he had used to change identities. Tyagi had been indulging in his debauchery under the guise of a uniform for nearly three years. The police have filed a case against Tyagi under relevant sections and have recovered the uniform he used for his deceitful acts.

Man posing as cop held for exploiting 20 women nationwide
Representative image. AGRA: Muzaffarnagar Police on Tuesday arrested a man accused of posing as a police constable to deceive and sexually exploit more than 20 women across several states. The accused, identified as Naushad Tyagi, 30, allegedly used the alias Rahul Tyagi and wore a fake police uniform to gain the trust of vulnerable women and manipulate them into relationships. SSP Sanjay Kumar Verma said Naushad, a school dropout, targeted women on social media who lived alone, many of whom were widowed or separated from their husbands. He would then sexually exploit them before disappearing from their lives. His activities spanned multiple cities, including Delhi, Ghaziabad , Bulandshahr, Mathura, Sambhal, Muzaffarnagar, and even parts of Assam and Meghalaya. During interrogation, Naushad admitted to having 18–20 girlfriends and confessed to physically exploiting at least 10 of them. The matter came to light when one of the women filed a complaint at the city police station, after which the case was handed over to DSP (City) Raju Kumar. Naushad, a resident of Charthawal in Muzaffarnagar, was arrested and a fake police uniform was recovered from him. He has been booked under several sections, including BNS Section 69 (sexual intercourse obtained through deceit). SSP Verma said Naushad had been using the fake uniform, allegedly stolen from a real constable friend in Sambhal, for over two years. He even mingled with actual police personnel without revealing his true identity. Legal action is underway, and police have urged other potential victims to come forward.
