Surekha, aged 33 resident of Kogre village of Koppa taluk is the lady who married five men. First a makeup artiste, then a wealthy financier, then a high school headmaster, went in for a live-in relationship and then finally married a clerk working in a government department.

Being aware of the fact that the government officials will not register complaint in a police station as the amount they would be giving her were all earned from illegitimate sources, she made living hell for three of her chosen husbands. She used to extort money from part time husbands by threatening them of registering police cases against them related to sexual abuse and dowry harassment.
According to the her third husband, the school head master, she converted to Islam for a short period to cheat a Muslim youth from Mangaluru before eloping to a picturesque location, jog falls with a new find ! Head master said, she has even cheated elderly men by assuring them of sites in Bengaluru which she terms as ‘Singapore’ of India.
