Luck of a 30-year-old man, who conned over 60 women into marrying him posing as a railway employee and relieving them of their cash and ornaments, was arrested after his luck ran out, police said today.

The man, identified as Mohammad Sizam, was arrested by Baligaon police of Vaishali district from near Samastipur railway station in Samastipur district yesterday, a police official said.

Police got on to his trail after a 14-year-old girl vanished from Bahauddinpur village of Vaishali district and married the man who posed as a travelling ticket examiner (TTE).

Acting on a complaint of girl's parent, Station Head Officer of Baligaon police station, Rajkumar Paswan said he started investigations with the help of the mobile number of the girl and finally located the man in Samastipur district.
 

A bank account number helped them in pin-pointing the man, who resided there.

"He masqueraded as a TTE. We brought him to our police station. He had four mobiles and eight SIM cards. We seized them, and it was then that our woes began. We started receiving calls from different women claiming to be his wife," said Paswan.

The SHO called the women to the police station. Those residing in and around the district arrived with their family members and children, while those living in far flung districts, as well as places outside the state like Kolkata, were on their way.
