Teacher Abducted and Forced into Marriage by Girl’s Family in Bihar, India
BiharL:A bizarre and shocking incident has occurred in the Begusarai district of Bihar, where a school teacher was abducted by the family of a girl and forced into marriage. The teacher, identified as Avnish Kumar, who had recently passed the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam and secured a job as a government school teacher, was abducted while on his way to school.
According to reports, two vehicles intercepted Avnish’s auto-rickshaw and nearly a dozen individuals armed with weapons forcibly abducted him. Within a few hours of the abduction, Avnish was reportedly beaten up and forced into a marriage with a girl named Ganjan, who claimed to have been in a relationship with him for the past four years.
**The Girl’s Claims and Allegations**
Ganjan, the girl involved in the incident, stated that she and Avnish had been in a relationship for four years and regularly met during this time. She alleged that Avnish had promised to marry her but broke his commitment after securing a government job. Ganjan explained that when she told her family about the relationship and attempted to arrange the marriage with Avnish, he rejected the idea, which she found unacceptable.
Ganjan further claimed that her family saw Avnish and her together just three days before the incident, which led them to hatch a plan to abduct him.
**The Forced Wedding and Video Evidence**
Reports revealed that after the abduction, Avnish was taken to a temple where a forced marriage ceremony was conducted. A video of the incident later went viral, showing Avnish being held by several individuals while Ganjan was seen wearing bridal attire.
After the marriage, Ganjan went to Avnish’s home, but his family refused to accept her as their daughter-in-law, causing tensions to rise. Allegedly, Avnish used this opportunity to escape from the situation.
**Avnish Denies the Allegations**
Avnish has vehemently denied all the allegations. Speaking to the media, he stated, “I had no relationship with this girl. She repeatedly called me and stalked me. I was abducted by a group of people, beaten up, and forced to participate in the marriage rituals.”
**Police Investigation Underway**
Ganjan has filed a formal complaint with the police, demanding justice for the forced marriage. The police have initiated an investigation into the matter. Authorities are now working to determine the truth behind the abduction and forced marriage while ensuring that the responsible individuals face appropriate legal action.
