The luxury hotel room looked like a war zone.

Broken champagne glass mixed with blood on the expensive marble floor.

A beautiful red Indian wedding dress torn and bloody thrown across the furniture.

Rose petals scattered everywhere.

But these weren’t romantic anymore.

They were evidence of something terrible.

At 217 a.m.on March 22nd, 2020, Pit Core stood on the balcony of the presidential suite at Park Hyatt Melbourne.

She was 29 years old, still wearing her bloodcovered wedding outfit, staring down at the courtyard 15 floors below.

Her brand new husband, Vikram Singh, lay dead on the ground.

His black wedding suit was scattered with the same rose petals that had decorated their ceremony just hours before.

This should have been the happiest night of their lives.

Instead, it became the night their criminal empire finally collapsed in the most violent way possible.

You see, Pit and Vikram weren’t just any married couple.

They were Australia’s most hated con artists.

Two people who had spent three years getting rich by destroying other people’s dreams of love and marriage.

They tricked hundreds of desperate people, stole millions of dollars, and ruined countless lives.

Some of their victims were so destroyed that they killed themselves.

But tonight, everything went wrong.

In their final hours as business partners, Pit discovered that Vikram had been planning the ultimate betrayal.

He was going to let her take all the blame for their crimes while he escaped to start a new life in another country.

Their wedding was supposed to be the perfect solution, a way to legally protect themselves from their years of crime.

Instead, it became the scene of their last and deadliest crime.

The woman who had built her fortune destroying marriages was about to become a widow on her wedding night.

And this time, the blood on her hands wasn’t fake.

This time, someone was actually dead.

For 3 years, they had been partners in Australia’s biggest marriage scam.

Tonight, that partnership ended with a 15 floorall and a body in the courtyard.

Their love story was about to become a murder story.

To understand how this wedding night ended in murder, you need to know how Pit Core became one of Australia’s most dangerous criminals.

Pri arrived in Melbourne in 2017 as a 24 yearear-old student from Punjab, India.

She was supposed to be studying business, but she was failing her classes and running out of money.

That’s when she discovered something much more profitable than studying.

How to exploit people’s loneliness and desperation for love.

Within 18 months, this failed student had built a criminal empire worth $15 million.

Her business was simple but deadly.

She sold fake marriages to anyone willing to pay $75,000.

Here’s how it worked.

PIT would find two types of victims.

First, desperate immigrants who needed permanent residency but couldn’t get it legally.

These people would pay anything to stay in Australia.

Second, lonely Australians who wanted companionship or needed money badly.

She would match them up, take the cash, and create fake love stories to fool immigration officers.

But Pit wasn’t just greedy.

She was a master manipulator.

She could make anyone believe anything.

She studied people’s weaknesses and used them like weapons.

She created romantic fairy tales, coached her victims on exactly what to say during interviews, and even staged fake romantic photos to make relationships look real.

From her luxury apartment in Turk, Melbourne’s richest area, she ran the operation like a successful business.

The walls were covered with photos of happy couples, but every single one was a fake marriage she had arranged for money.

She used multiple phones with different names and identities to manage her scams.

She wore expensive designer clothes and drove luxury cars to look successful and trustworthy.

To the outside world, she looked like a legitimate immigration consultant helping people find love.

In reality, she was destroying lives for profit and had no feelings for the people she hurt.

But PIT couldn’t run this massive operation alone.

That’s where Vikram Singh came in.

Vikram had arrived in Australia a year before Pit in 2016.

Unlike her, he came legitimately as an IT worker trying to build an honest life.

He had a good job, paid his taxes, and followed all the rules.

But when his work visa ran into problems and he faced deportation, he became desperate.

That’s when Pit found him and saw an opportunity.

She didn’t just help him solve his immigration problems.

She turned him into her partner in crime.

Vikram became the muscle of the operation.

While Pit charmed victims and created fake love stories, Vicram handled the dirty work.

He intimidated people who wanted out of their fake marriages, forged official documents, and moved stolen money through fake businesses to hide their crimes.

The two criminals fell into a toxic relationship built on shared crimes.

They made millions together, lived in luxury together, and even slept together.

But they never really trusted each other.

In fact, both were secretly planning to betray the other when the time was right.

While Pit presented herself as a caring matchmaker to the public, Vikram worked in the shadows.

He had a high-tech document forgery setup in his basement where he created fake passports, marriage certificates, and bank statements.

He was already in contact with Canadian immigration lawyers, planning his escape route.

He even had a fake passport with a new identity ready to use.

But the real tragedy wasn’t their eventual betrayal of each other.

It was what they did to innocent people along the way.

Sarah Williams was a 34year-old primary school teacher who fell for one of Pit’s fake marriage schemes.

She paid her entire life savings, lost her house when the scam fell apart, and tried to kill herself when she realized she’d been tricked.

Ravi Sharma, a 28-year-old engineer from India, paid everything his family had for a fake marriage.

When it was exposed, he was deported and blacklisted from ever returning to Australia.

The Patel family sold their land in India to pay for their son’s fake marriage.

When the scam collapsed, they lost everything and became homeless.

James Morrison, a 45-year-old widowerower still grieving his wife’s death, was manipulated into paying his pension savings for a fake relationship that left him broke and heartbroken.

These weren’t just financial crimes.

Pit and Vikram were destroying lives, breaking hearts, and pushing desperate people over the edge.

Some victims became so hopeless that they took their own lives.

For 3 years, they got away with it all.

They arranged over 200 fake marriages, stole millions of dollars, and lived like royalty while their victims suffered in poverty and despair.

But their success was about to become their biggest problem.

By January 2020, Pit and Vikram’s perfect criminal empire was falling apart.

The easy money and luxury lifestyle were coming to an end, and danger was closing in from every direction.

Detective Sarah Chen from the Australian Federal Police had been quietly hunting them for months.

She was a smart, determined cop who specialized in immigration fraud, and she knew exactly what PIT and Vikram were doing.

Chen led a special task force called Operation Fake Love that included police officers, immigration officials, and financial crime experts, all working together to bring down their network.

The investigation was intense and thorough.

Undercover agents were watching their every move.

Bank accounts were being monitored.

Phone calls were being recorded.

Victims who had been too scared or embarrassed to speak up before were finally coming forward to tell their stories to police.

The pressure was getting unbearable.

Every day more evidence piled up against them.

Every week another victim contacted authorities.

The net was tightening and both criminals knew it.

Making things even worse, the immigration department had just installed a brand new computer system powered by artificial intelligence that could spot fake marriages by looking for suspicious patterns.

This technology was a gamecher.

It could analyze thousands of applications and identify the telltale signs of fraud that human officers might miss.

Suddenly, couples that Pit had carefully coached were getting caught during their official interviews.

Immigration officers were asking harder questions.

The fake love stories that used to work every time were now falling apart under scrutiny.

Pit’s success rate dropped from 95% down to less than 30%.

The money that used to flow like water was now just a small trickle.

But the authorities weren’t the only ones hunting them.

By February 2020, Melbourne’s Indian community had completely turned against them.

Word had spread through the tight-knit community about what Pit and Vikram were really doing.

Families were discovering that their relatives had been scammed and robbed.

People who had trusted PIT’s matchmaking services realized they had been lied to and financially destroyed.

The community’s reaction was swift and brutal.

The local seek temple banned them from entering for religious services.

Community centers refused to let them attend cultural events.

Their names became poison in Little India.

Nobody wanted to be associated with them.

It got much scarier.

Angry families of victims started making serious death threats.

They knew where Pit and Vikram lived.

They knew their daily routines.

Some victims relatives had lost everything and blamed the criminal couple for destroying their lives.

These weren’t empty threats.

These were desperate people who had nothing left to lose.

Social media made everything worse.

Victims and their families started posting photos of PIT and Vikram online, warning others about their scams.

Facebook groups and WhatsApp chats spread their pictures with detailed stories about the lives they had destroyed.

They couldn’t walk down the street without being recognized, confronted, or threatened.

The breaking point came when news reports started connecting multiple suicides directly to their marriage fraud network.

Three victims had killed themselves after losing everything to Pit and Vikram’s fake marriages.

The media was calling them Australia’s most evil couple and marriage scam murderers who drove people to suicide.

Both criminals realized they were running out of time.

The police investigation was getting closer to making arrests.

The community wanted them dead.

Their income had almost completely dried up.

They needed an escape plan and they needed it fast.

That’s when they both came up with the same idea, marry each other.

A real marriage between them would create something called spousal privilege under Australian law.

This meant they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in court, which would make it much harder for prosecutors to build a case against them.

It would also make their shared criminal assets harder for the government to seize since married couples have special legal protections for joint property.

Even better, they could spin their wedding as a redemption story for the media.

Two former criminals find real love and decide to reform their ways.

It might buy them some public sympathy and give them breathing room with both the community and the legal system.

So, in March 2020, they announced their engagement to the world.

To everyone watching, it looked romantic.

two people who had done bad things but found love through their shared experiences and were now ready to go straight and build a legitimate life together.

The announcement got positive media coverage.

Some people in the community thought maybe they really had changed.

Even some victims families wondered if this meant they might finally get some of their money back.

But behind the scenes, both Pit and Vikram were secretly preparing their own individual escape plans.

Neither one intended to honor this marriage beyond the immediate legal protection it would provide.

Vikram had been quietly contacting criminal networks in Canada who could help him disappear with a new identity.

He had been moving money to hidden offshore accounts that Pit didn’t know about.

His plan was simple.

Marry her for the legal benefits, then vanished to Canada, leaving her to face the authorities alone.

Pit was no fool either.

She had been exploring escape routes to the United Kingdom through forged documents and criminal contacts there.

She had her own secret stash of money and her own detailed plans to disappear, leaving Vikram to take the blame for everything they had done together.

Both thought they were smarter than their partner.

Both believed they could pull off the ultimate betrayal.

Neither realized that the other person was planning exactly the same thing.

As their wedding day approached, they were both living double lives, even within their criminal partnership.

Their marriage was never meant to be real.

It was just another scam.

But this time, they were scamming each other.

March 22nd, 2020 was supposed to be the perfect wedding day.

Instead, it became the day two criminals tried to outsmart each other with deadly consequences.

The wedding took place at Crown Casino Melbourne, one of the city’s most expensive venues.

Because of COVID 19 restrictions, only a small group of people could attend, which actually worked perfectly for Pit and Vikram.

They didn’t have real family or friends who would come anyway.

Most people in their lives either hated them or had cut them off completely.

Since their real families back in India had disowned them after learning about their crimes, they hired professional actors to play the role of loving relatives.

These actors had no idea they were participating in a fake family reunion for two criminals.

They were just paid to smile, cry happy tears, and make the wedding look legitimate for the cameras.

Professional photographers were there to document what the media was calling their love story redemption.

The pictures would be used to show the world that two bad people had found each other and were now reformed and happy.

Every smile, every kiss, every tear was carefully staged for maximum public sympathy.

But what nobody knew was that while they posed for these romantic photos, both bride and groom were secretly planning to kill each other after the ceremony was over.

The wedding ceremony itself was beautiful to watch.

It was a traditional seek ceremony with all the right decorations, music, and religious rituals.

Pit wore a stunning red and gold outfit that cost more than most people’s cars.

Vikram looked handsome in his black suit with a traditional turban.

They said emotional vows about loving each other forever, about standing by each other through good times and bad, about being faithful until death.

The small crowd of community members who attended wiped away tears listening to their promises.

These people genuinely believed they were watching two criminals who had found redemption through love.

But every word was a complete lie.

While they spoke about loving each other forever, both were thinking about how to kill the other person as soon as possible.

Even their wedding rings were part of their deadly plans.

Both contained tiny GPS tracking devices so they could monitor each other’s movements.

The ceremony looked perfect from the outside, but it was really just two murderers getting married for legal protection while planning each other’s deaths.

The real drama started during the evening reception.

That’s when both criminals began discovering the truth about what their new spouse was really planning.

Pit was in the bathroom when she overheard Vikram talking quietly on his phone.

He was speaking to someone in Canada and even though he was trying to keep his voice down, she caught enough words to understand what was happening.

He was talking about moving the timeline up and eliminating the problem permanently.

She realized with horror that he was talking about killing her.

When she came out of the bathroom, she started looking through his things more carefully.

In his jacket pocket, she found official documents, but they were all in his name only.

There was no mention of her anywhere.

These were immigration papers for Canada, bank account transfers, even a new passport application.

Everything was prepared for him to disappear alone.

She checked their shared bank accounts on her phone and discovered that over the past month, the CRA had been secretly moving their money to offshore accounts that only he could access.

millions of dollars that should have been theirs together was now under his control only.

The horrible truth hit her like a physical blow.

He wasn’t just planning to run away and leave her behind.

He was planning to frame her for all their crimes, take all their money, and then kill her to make sure she could never expose him.

But Vikram was making his own terrifying discoveries that same night.

While Pit was distracted talking to wedding guests, he went through her purse and found her phone unlocked.

The message history showed months of secret communication with criminal contacts in the UK.

People were discussing new identity papers, permanent solutions, and making problems disappear forever.

Then he found something that made his blood run cold.

Hidden inside her heavy traditional necklace was a small glass bottle.

When he carefully opened it and smelled the contents, he recognized it immediately.

It was poison.

fast acting, hard to detect, and deadly within hours.

She was planning to kill him, probably during their honeymoon when they would be alone together.

She would poison his food or drink, make it look like a heart attack or sudden illness, and then inherit everything as his grieving widow.

Both criminals now knew the awful truth.

The person they had just married, the person they had worked with for 3 years, the person who was supposed to be their partner, was planning to murder them.

At 11:30 p.

m.

, they went to their luxury honeymoon suite at the Park Hyatt Melbourne.

The room cost $50,000 for one night and had everything.

Expensive champagne, roses everywhere, chocolatecovered strawberries, and an incredible view of the entire city.

To anyone watching, they looked like the happiest newlywets in the world.

They took romantic photos for social media, kissing and laughing and looking completely in love.

But it was all performance art.

Both were acting while secretly planning how to kill the other person first.

What nobody watching could see was that both had hidden weapons throughout the expensive hotel room.

Pit had taped a kitchen knife under the bathroom sink.

Vicram had hidden a gun behind the books on the shelf.

They were like actors in a romantic movie, except this movie was going to end with murder.

As the night went on, their conversation became a careful battle of words.

They spoke in code, making threats that sounded like love talk to anyone listening in.

“I’ll love you until death do us part,” Pit said sweetly while her hand moved toward where she had hidden the knife.

“You mean everything to me.

I would do anything to protect what we have, Vikram replied romantically while thinking about the gun hidden across the room.

They were both drinking heavily, which made them braver, but also more careless.

Each was trying to figure out exactly how much the other person knew.

Each was waiting for the perfect moment to strike first.

The tension in the room grew thicker with every passing hour.

Both were asking careful questions, trying to catch the other in a lie.

Both were looking for the right opening to attack.

By 1:30 a.

m.

, the pretending was almost over.

The alcohol was wearing off.

The fake smiles were getting harder to maintain.

Two criminals sat in a luxury hotel room, both knowing that only one of them would see the sunrise.

Their wedding night was about to become the final crime scene of their partnership.

At 1:45 a.

m.

, the pretending finally stopped.

Pit couldn’t take the fake smiles and romantic talk anymore.

I know about Canada, she said coldly, throwing the forged documents at Vikrams face.

Her voice was completely different now.

Gone was the sweet bride from earlier.

This was the real Pit, the criminal mastermind who had destroyed hundreds of lives without feeling any guilt.

I know about the secret bank accounts.

I know you’ve been moving our money where I can’t touch it.

I know you were planning to run away and leave me here to rot in prison while you start your perfect new life.

She stood up and started pacing around the expensive hotel room like a caged animal.

You were going to frame me for everything, weren’t you? Make it look like I was the boss and you were just some innocent guy following orders, then disappear to Canada with all our money while I spend the rest of my life in jail.

The cra didn’t even try to deny it.

He was done lying, too.

Instead, he calmly reached into his jacket and pulled out the small poison bottle she had hidden in her wedding jewelry.

“Really? You want to talk about betrayal?” he said, holding up the bottle so she could see it clearly.

“I found this in your necklace.

Were you planning to poison me on our honeymoon? Make it look like I had a heart attack while we were celebrating our new marriage.

” He grabbed her phone from the bed and showed her the screen with all her secret messages to criminals in the UK.

I also know about your escape plan to London.

So don’t stand there acting like you’re the victim.

We’re both liars.

We’re both planning murder.

The only difference is I found out about your plan before you could kill me.

For a long moment, they just stared at each other across the luxury hotel room.

3 years of working together, 3 years of making millions through crime.

And it all came down to this.

Two criminals who had never really trusted each other.

finally admitting they were both planning to commit murder.

At 2:00 a.

m.

, the fight turned to money.

That’s when things got really ugly.

“Those offshore accounts belong to me,” Pit screamed, grabbing her laptop and frantically trying to access their shared criminal funds.

“I built this whole business from nothing.

I found the victims.

I created the fake love stories.

I made all the plans.

our business,” Vikram shot back, pulling out his own computer and trying to lock her out of the accounts.

I did all the dirty work that you were too scared to do.

I threatened people when they wanted out.

I forged all the documents.

I moved the money around so we wouldn’t get caught.

Without me, the police would have arrested you years ago.

They were both typing furiously, trying to transfer millions of dollars, trying to lock the other person out of accounts worth $15 million total.

Both realized their partnership was completely over and they needed to grab whatever money they could before the other person took it all.

You know what, Pit said, picking up her phone with her finger hovering over Detective Chen’s number.

Maybe I should just call the police right now.

Tell them exactly where to find you.

At least if I cooperate, I might get a deal and a lighter sentence.

Go ahead and try, Vikram replied, grabbing his own phone.

I’ll call them too and tell them where all the evidence is hidden.

Remember Ravi Sharma, that engineer who killed himself after we scammed him? I kept his suicide note and it mentions your name specifically as the person who destroyed his life.

That’s when Vikram’s phone started ringing.

The caller ID showed detective Chen’s name.

It was 2:10 a.

m.

Way too late for a normal phone call.

Vikram answered it and put it on speaker phone.

He didn’t care anymore if Pit heard everything.

This is Detective Chen from the Australian Federal Police.

The voice said, “We’re conducting major arrests tomorrow morning starting at 6:00 a.

m.

We have enough evidence to charge both of you with fraud, money laundering, and multiple counts of manslaughter for the people who committed suicide because of your scams.

” Both criminals went completely white.

They stared at each other in horror.

“I’m calling to give you one last chance to cooperate with our investigation,” Detective Chen continued.

The first person to come in and confess gets a deal and a reduced sentence.

The other person gets life in prison with no possibility of parole.

She hung up without saying goodbye.

Pit and Vikram looked at each other across the hotel room.

After 3 years of partnership after getting married just hours earlier, it came down to this simple choice.

Kill your business partner or spend the rest of your life in prison.

Pit moved first.

At 2:15 a.

m.

, she grabbed a sharp knife that she had hidden earlier in the wedding flower arrangements and lunged straight at Vikram.

He saw it coming just in time and rolled away, grabbing an expensive champagne bottle to defend himself.

They fought like wild animals throughout the luxury hotel suite.

Beautiful furniture got smashed into pieces.

Wedding decorations were torn apart and scattered everywhere.

Blood started splattering on the white walls and expensive carpet.

Pit was smaller but faster.

Vikram was bigger and stronger but drunk.

They were both desperate, both fighting not just for money but for their lives and freedom.

The violent struggle moved toward the balcony that overlooked Melbourne’s downtown area.

The city lights sparkled beautifully 15 floors below them, but neither criminal was looking at the view.

Pit was trying to push Vikram over the railing.

She knew that if he fell, all their problems would be solved.

She could blame everything on the dead man and maybe even get sympathy as the grieving widow.

Vikram was fighting back, trying to grab the knife from her hands, but the balcony floor was slippery from spilled champagne and blood from their fight.

Then it happened.

Vikram lost his footing and slipped.

He grabbed onto the balcony railing, but his hands were sweaty and bloody from fighting.

He was hanging 15 floors above the concrete courtyard, held up only by his grip on the metal railing.

“Help me,” he gasped, looking up at Pit with fear in his eyes for the first time.

“Please, we can work this out.

We can both run away together.

Just pull me up.

” Pit stood there looking down at him.

She had a choice to make.

She could reach down and save the man she had worked with for 3 years, the man she had just married, the man who knew all her secrets, or she could let him fall and solve all her problems at once.

At 2:17 a.

m.

, she made her decision.

Instead of helping him up, Pit lifted her foot and stepped down hard on Vikram’s fingers where they gripped the railing.

“This is for trying to betray me,” she said coldly.

His grip broke instantly.

Vikram Singh fell 15 floors, screaming all the way down until he hit the hotel courtyard with a sound that Pit would never forget.

Their criminal empire was finally over.

But so was Pit’s freedom.

She had just murdered her business partner on their wedding night, and there was no escaping what she had done.

When the sun came up on March 22nd, Detective Chen arrived at the Park Hyatt Melbourne to investigate what would become one of Australia’s most shocking crimes.

Pit was sitting calmly in the hotel lobby, still wearing her bloodstained red wedding dress.

Her story was simple and rehearsed.

It was a terrible accident.

We were celebrating our wedding on the balcony with champagne and Vikram got too close to the railing.

He slipped and fell.

I tried to grab him, but I couldn’t reach him in time.

She even managed to cry real tears while telling this story.

To any normal person, she would have looked like a devastated new bride who had just lost her husband in a tragic accident.

But Detective Chen wasn’t any normal person.

She had been hunting these two criminals for months and knew exactly how manipulative they could be.

She also knew that their stories were usually lies designed to hide much darker truths.

Chen immediately started examining the crime scene and Pit’s story began falling apart within minutes.

The hotel room looked like a war zone.

Furniture was smashed, blood was splattered on walls, wedding decorations were destroyed, and there were clear signs of a violent fight.

This wasn’t the scene of a romantic accident.

This was the scene of attempted murder.

Most importantly, the hotel’s security cameras had recorded everything.

The footage showed the brutal fight, the struggle on the balcony, and the moment Pit deliberately stepped on Vikram’s fingers as he begged for help.

There was no denying what had really happened.

When police searched their belongings, they found both escape plans, hidden weapons throughout the room, the poison Pit had planned to use and evidence of their entire criminal operation spanning 3 years.

Faced with video evidence of cold-blooded murder, Pit finally broke down and told the truth.

But she didn’t just confess to killing Vikram.

She confessed to everything.

the fake marriages, the stolen money, the destroyed lives, the victims who had killed themselves because of their scams.

Her confession opened the door to the biggest criminal investigation in Australian immigration fraud history.

Over the next week, police conducted raids across the entire country.

They arrested 47 people who had been part of PIT and Vikram’s criminal network.

Document forggers who created fake passports and marriage certificates, paid actors who pretended to be witnesses at fake weddings, corrupt immigration officials who looked the other way for money, and money launderers who helped hide their profits.

The investigation revealed that their network was much bigger than anyone had realized.

They had arranged over 500 fake marriages, stolen more than $50 million from victims, and had connections to similar criminal operations in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.

But the money was nothing compared to the human damage they had caused.

Police confirmed that eight people had committed suicide after being destroyed by PIT and Vikram scams.

Over 300 families had been financially ruined, losing their homes, life savings, and dreams of building better lives.

The total damage was estimated at over $100 million when you included lost homes, destroyed businesses, and ongoing medical costs for victims mental health treatment.

Sarah Williams, the teacher who had tried to kill herself after losing everything, came to court to face Pit directly.

“You didn’t just steal my money,” she said through tears.

You stole my ability to trust anyone ever again.

I haven’t been on a single date in 4 years because I’m terrified that anyone who shows interest in me might be another scammer.

The Patel family, who had sold their farmland in India and ended up homeless, traveled all the way to Australia to attend the trial.

“You killed our son’s future,” the father said, pointing directly at Pit.

“You killed our family’s hope.

We may never recover from what you did to us.

” Pit’s trial began in April 2020 and lasted 9 months, making headlines around the world.

The media called it Australia’s most evil love story and the wedding night murder that exposed a criminal empire.

Every day, the courtroom was packed with victims and their families who had traveled from across Australia and India to see justice done.

Many had to take time off work they couldn’t afford and pay for travel expenses they didn’t have just for the chance to look Pit in the eyes and tell her how she had destroyed their lives.

The charges against PIT were severe.

First-degree murder of Vikram Singh, $327 separate counts of immigration fraud, money laundering involving $50 million, conspiracy to defraud the government, and causing death by criminal negligence for the people who had committed suicide because of their scams.

Pit’s lawyers tried every possible defense.

They argued she was a victim too, manipulated and controlled by Vikram.

They claimed she had been driven to temporary insanity by years of abuse.

They even tried to argue that Vikram’s death was still an accident, just one that happened during a fight.

But the evidence was overwhelming.

Court ordered psychological tests revealed that Pit was a sociopath with no real empathy for other people.

The video testimony from victims made it clear that she had been the mastermind behind the operation, not some helpless follower.

James Morrison, the widowerower who had lost his pension savings, gave the most powerful testimony.

Looking directly at PIT, he said, “You looked me in the eyes and promised me love, companionship, and a real partnership.

All you gave me was bankruptcy, loneliness, and the knowledge that I’m too stupid to ever trust anyone again.

” The verdict came in January 2021.

Guilty on every single charge.

Judge Patricia Williams, who had overseen hundreds of criminal cases during her career, said she had never seen such a complete lack of remorse from any defendant.

You built your fortune by destroying the most fundamental human need, the need for love and connection.

She told Pit during sentencing, “You showed no mercy to your victims, and this court will show no mercy to you.

” Pit was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.

The court ordered her to give up all the proceeds from her crimes and pay over $20 million in restitution to victims.

If she’s ever released from prison, she’ll be immediately deported to India and banned from ever returning to Australia.

But the impact of Pit and Vikram’s crimes went far beyond just their punishment.

The Australian government completely rebuilt their immigration system to prevent similar scams.

They installed new technology that uses artificial intelligence to detect suspicious marriage patterns.

They signed international agreements to share information about marriage fraud with other countries.

They established a victim compensation fund to help people rebuild their lives after being scammed.

Criminal penalties for marriage fraud were increased to life imprisonment, sending a clear message that Australia would not tolerate people who prey on others dreams of love and belonging.

The Indian Australian community also changed dramatically.

Temples and community centers now have strict verification processes for any marriage arrangements.

Support groups meet regularly to help fraud victims heal from their trauma.

Educational programs teach people how to recognize the warning signs of marriage scams before they become victims.

Advocacy groups formed by the families that Pit and Vikram destroyed now work full-time to prevent other people from suffering the same fate.

They speak at schools, community centers, and immigration offices, sharing their stories to warn others about the devastating consequences of marriage fraud.

Today, Pit sits alone in a maximum security women’s prison.

She spends 23 hours a day in solitary confinement for her own safety.

Other inmates want to hurt her because they know what she did.

She receives regular death threats from victims families who will never forgive her for destroying their lives.

Every appeal she has filed has been rejected by the courts.

She will likely die in prison, paying for the lives she destroyed and the partner she murdered on what should have been the happiest night of her life.

The luxury apartment in Turk is gone.

The designer clothes are gone.

The millions of dollars are gone.

The criminal empire that took three years to build was destroyed in a single night of violence and betrayal.

What remains is a woman who chose greed over humanity, who chose murder over mercy, and who will spend the rest of her life remembering the moment she stepped on her husband’s fingers and watched him fall to his death 15 floors below.

Four years have passed since that bloody wedding night.

But the damage Pit and Vikram caused still echoes through hundreds of lives.

Pit sits in maximum security prison, locked in solitary confinement 23 hours a day for her own safety.

Other inmates want to hurt her because they know what she did.

She’s tried multiple times to appeal her sentence, but every court has said no.

She receives death threats from victim’s families and shows no guilt for destroying hundreds of lives.
