Detective police arrested eight marriage media frauds, including four imposters who masqueraded as brides, at a house at Aftabnagar in the capital's Badda on Saturday.

They are Ershad, Alamgir Hossain alias Badsha, Ikbal Hossain, Jahangir, Asmaul Husna Mishu, Sadia Mitu, Shayla Sharmin, and Salma.

They confessed to cheating people in the name of sending them abroad through arranging marriage with fake citizens of the countries, said Masudur Rahman, deputy commissioner (media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.

After marriage, they embezzle their clients' money given for going abroad and ornaments given to the brides, he said.
