In another incident, a woman and her husband were allegedly beaten up by her family, who later abducted the woman, for marrying without consent.

The incident happened in Bhojipura on Monday. However, the police rescued the woman on the same day and have registered a case.

If there is any video of the incident, we will inspect it and verify if we can use it to strengthen our case."

The couple, hailing from neighbouring villages, have been married for over a year. They had fled the district after marriage and had only recently returned.
