A 50-year-old woman from Ambedkarnagar eloped with her 30-year-old neighbour—her husband's grandnephew—after marrying him at a local temple.
The woman's husband, devastated by the betrayal, declared her "dead" to the family, vowing to perform her last rites as a symbolic closure. The incident unfolded in Pratappur Belwaria village under the jurisdiction of Baskhari police station.
Chandrashekhar (55), the woman's husband, revealed that the woman, Indravati, was involved in an illicit relationship with his grandnephew Azad, who is 20 years her junior.
The two reportedly tied the knot at a temple three days ago before fleeing to Rohtak, Haryana.
"She's dead to me. I will perform her terahvin and pind daan. She has brought disgrace to the family. She didn't think about me or our children," Chandrashekhar said. He accused the couple of plotting to poison the entire family before fleeing. Chandrashekhar and Indravati were married for 30 years and have four children together—two sons and two daughters.
Indravati's daughters have been staying indoors since the incident, fearing social backlash. Villagers have socially boycotted both families in protest of the relationship. Last Sunday, as villagers gathered for their usual afternoon routines, the news of their elopement spread like wildfire. They solemnised their marriage at a temple in the village, leaving behind stunned family members and a flurry of unanswered questions.

The village elders convened an emergency panchayat, and both families were swiftly boycotted. An informal decree was passed: Anyone caught associating with the couple would be fined Rs 5,000.
Ambedkarnagar superintendent of police Keshav Kumar told TOI that no complaint in connection with the case has landed at the local police station as yet. "Legally, both of them are adults," he said.

Web of deceit, betrayal: Murder accused's controversial past
Alwar: In a chilling tale that has gripped Kishangarh Bas town of Khairthal-Tijara district, the murder of 35-year-old Hansraj Kashyap has unveiled a web of deceit, betrayal and a lifestyle shrouded in controversy. The prime suspect, Jitendra Kumar, a 36-year-old resident of Adarah Nagar, is at the centre of this scandal, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and an alleged string of illicit affairs. The discovery of Hansraj's body stuffed in a blue drum led to the arrest of his wife, Laxmi Devi (31), who has been accused of conspiring with Jitendra to murder her husband. The alleged affair between Laxmi and Jitendra was no secret in the neighborhood, with Jitendra even arranging a rented room for her in his own house. As per his neighbours, Jitendra's past is as murky as the present murder allegation. His late wife, Shashi Sharma, died under suspicious circumstances 12 years ago, purportedly from electrocution. However, neighbours, including retired policeman Bhagirath Gaur, have long harbored doubts about the true cause of her death. Gaur claims that Shashi's body bore marks consistent with torture and her death was conveniently labeled an accident due to her family's financial constraints. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Belarus Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.

Gaur's daughter-in-law was allegedly another victim of Jitendra's charm, leaving her husband to live with Jitendra in a live-in relationship that ended in turmoil. Jitendra's mother, Mithlesh Sharma, is left to pick up the pieces of a shattered family reputation. She expressed her anguish over her son's criminal actions, which have left her unable to face the community. Jitendra's 14-year-old son now bears the burden of his father's notoriety, says Mithlesh. "Jitendra has not only committed one murder (of Hansraj) but has destroyed many families," says Gaur. As the police investigation unfolds, Kishangarh Bas town watches closely, captivated by the unfolding illicit relationship drama that reads like a crime thriller.
