A 38-year-old man who had been arrested for allegedly cheating a single mother with the false promise of marriage and driving her to suicide had allegedly cheated at least three more women whom he had met through matrimony sites, police said.

Police have found that the man is married and has a family in Haridevpur.

The man was arrested on Wednesday following a complaint by the mother of the 33-year-old woman who committed suicide.

The single mother had consumed sleeping pills and given the same to her 55-year-old mother and six-year-old daughter on Tuesday evening, after realising that the man had no intention to marry her.

By then, the woman had sold the flat, as told by the accused. The man had allegedly taken the money she had got from the sale of the flat.
