A suspected case of abduction turned out to be a love affair in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut. On February 7, a 25-year-old female constable, working in the cybercrime cell in Aligarh, left her home ahead of her marriage ceremony. Suspecting a case of kidnapping, the family members filed a complaint against Ankit Chauhan, a murder accused, who was out on bail. However, as per the police, Chauhan and the female constable had a love affair, and hence the two eloped.
The incident shocked the local inhabitants. According to sources, the woman was engaged to a local man and was supposed to get married on Sunday. However, on Saturday night, the woman suddenly went missing from her home. The event triggered suspicion among the family members, who then filed a complaint, accusing Chauhan of kidnapping charges.
Based on the complaint, the police soon began their search procedure by forming a team. From the beginning, the police suspected it was a case of a love affair, and the constable eloped with Chauhan of her own will. A senior police officer also confirmed their relationship to the press.
A day later, the police found the woman and took her to the local police station, where she recorded her statement. The woman then left with her parents.
Meanwhile, the police were also looking for Chauhan. Initially, they thought of apprehending him. However, Chauhan evaded the police and quietly surrendered at the district session court on Tuesday. The police surrounded the court earlier; however, he did not pose a threat.
