NDTV
The man made and circulated a video to defame the woman and her family, and claim that she was now married to him.
A 23-year-old woman in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer district was kidnapped, taken to a deserted area and then forced to participate in a 'wedding ritual' by a man, who was angry that his engagement with her had been called off. मीडिया द्वारा ये वीडियो जैसलमेर का बताया जा रहा है। रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार एक लड़की को सरेआम किडनैप करके एक बंजर वीराने में आग जलाकर उसके साथ ज़बरदस्ती शादी कर ली। ये बेहद चौंकाने वाली और डराने वाली घटना है। @AshokGehlot51 जी मामले की जाँच कर कार्यवाही करें। pic.twitter.com/mZee4oJgSy
