In a startling incident, a man in Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district eloped with a married woman for the second time in a span of seven days. When the woman’s husband tried to stop them, the man allegedly threatened to kill him.
The incident came to light on Thursday after the husband filed a complaint against the man named Jiledar Khan and his wife. According to his statement, Khan arrived at his house on March 24 and lured his wife away under the pretext of marriage. When the man tried to intervene and stop, Khan resorted to verbal abuse and gave him death threats.
This is not the first time Khan eloped with the man’s 24-year-old wife. A week before, the woman went missing under similar circumstances. The man lodged a complaint, and the police brought the woman back to her husband on March 23.
However, her stay did not last longer than a day, as on March 24, she eloped with Khan again.
In his second complaint, the husband mentioned that the woman allegedly fled with a significant amount of cash and jewellery that were kept in the house.
A senior police officer told India Today that a formal case has been registered against Jiledar Khan under relevant legal sections based on the husband’s written complaint. He mentioned that while the police had previously recovered the woman and handed her over to her spouse, she had once fled.
Law enforcement teams are currently conducting a search to locate the woman and the accused, assuring that strict legal action will follow once they are found.
