In a shocking incident, a 36-year-old married woman from Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi allegedly abandoned her husband and six children and eloped with a beggar.
The husband has filed a police complaint under Section 87 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita which is related to the abduction of a woman. Police have registered a case and are looking for the accused. The woman has been found, police have said.
The 45-year-old complainant Raju said he lives in the Harpalpur area of Hardoi with his family. He alleged that the beggar Nanhe Pandit would come to their neighbourhood and would often talk to his wife. Soon, they started talking over the phone.
Raju said his wife left home to shop for clothes and vegetables but never returned.
"Around 2 pm on January 3, my wife Rajeshwari told our daughter Khushboo that she was going to the market to buy clothes and vegetables. When she did not return, I looked for her everywhere, but could not find her. My wife left home with the money I made by selling a buffalo. I suspect that Nanhe Pandit has taken her with him," Raju said in his complaint.
