In a bizarre turn of events, three girls from Nawada, Bihar, ran away from home and ended up in Surat, Gujarat. Upon arriving in Surat, two of the friends got married, with one taking on the role of the groom, and the other the bride, while the third friend became the ‘brother-in-law.’ They then started living together. Their families reported them missing, leading the police to investigate and eventually locate the girls in Surat. The girls are currently being questioned.
The news of this unusual 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 Surat police collaborated to find the girls. On July 19, three underage friends, who attended the same school, left home under the pretense of collecting their mark sheets. Two of the girls were from the same village, and the third was from another village. They had planned to live together.
After the girls went missing, their families searched for two days but found no trace of them. On July 21, a missing person report was filed at the Nemdarganj police station. The police investigation revealed that the three girls were working in a textile mill in Patel Nagar, Surat. The most astonishing detail was that two of the girls had married each other, with one playing the role of the bride and the other the groom. 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 wearing sindoor and the other presented as the husband astonished everyone. The third girl’s role as the brother-in-law has made this case a hot topic of discussion. The incident has become a source of curiosity and debate not just in Nawada but throughout Bihar.
According to Nemdarganj police station in-charge Vinay Kumar, this is an unusual case, and the police are carrying out a comprehensive investigation. The legal course of action will be decided after the girls’ statements are recorded.
