In a bizarre incident from Nawada, Bihar, three friends ran away from home and reached Surat, Gujarat. Here, two of the friends married each other, with one becoming the groom, the other the bride, and the third friend playing the role of the ‘brother-in-law.’ The trio then started living together. Meanwhile, their families had filed missing person reports. When the police investigated, they traced the girls to Surat and recovered them. Interrogation of the girls is underway.
News of the event caused a sensation in the village. The incident occurred in the Akbarpur block area and came to light on Tuesday when the Nemdarganj police and the Surat police conducted a joint operation to recover the three girls. On July 19, the three underage friends, who attended the same school, left home under the pretext of bringing their mark sheets. Two of the girls were from one village, and the third was from another. They had planned to live together.
After their disappearance, the families searched for two days without any luck. On July 21, a missing person’s report was filed at the Nemdarganj police station. During the investigation, the police discovered that the three girls were working in a textile mill in Patel Nagar, Surat. The shocking part was that two of the girls had married each other, with one taking on the role of the bride and the other the husband. The third girl was living with them as the brother-in-law.
Following a joint operation by the Surat and Nemdarganj police, the girls were brought back to Nawada. When they were brought to the police station, the sight of one girl with sindoor in her hair and the other as a husband shocked everyone. The third girl’s role as the brother-in-law further fueled the discussion around the case. This incident has become a topic of curiosity and debate not only in Nawada but throughout Bihar.
According to the Nemdarganj police station in-charge, Vinay Kumar, this is an unusual case, and the police are investigating all aspects thoroughly. It will be clear what legal action will be taken in this case only after the girls’ statements are recorded.
