Missing MP woman lawyer found near Nepal border — did she stage her disappearance? Here's what cops say
Woman lawyer Archana Tiwari, who went missing around two weeks ago while travelling on a train from Indore to Katni in Madhya Pradesh, was found near the Nepal border in Lakhimpur Khiri district of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday. On the intervening night of August 7 and 8, the 29-year-old lawyer was heading to Katni from Indore for the Rakshabandhan festival. But she did not reach her destination and has been missing since then. She was a practising lawyer at the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court and was also preparing for a civil judge examination. On Tuesday, she contacted her family to say that she was safe, which allowed police to trace her location near the Nepal border, reported India Today. "Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel finally traced Archana Tiwari in Lakhimpur-Khiri town on the Indo-Nepal border after 12 days of hectic search," Superintendent of Police (Railways) Rahul Kumar Lodha said. The SP also said that the cops are bringing her back to Bhopal, and after recording her statement, details of the entire episode will be known. Archana reportedly staged her disappearance act because of the family pressure to abandon her studies and get married. Her family had arranged her marriage with a Patwari (a local land record officer), according to an India Today report citing the police. 'Archana was engaged to a Patwari and was told to quit her studies to prepare for the wedding. She told one Saransh Chopchen, whom she got in touch with while studying at Indore, about this,' Rahul Lodha said. Earlier, Archana Tiwari's kin had suspected that she was a victim of human trafficking and had sought a CBI probe. "This is a case of human trafficking; however, police are not investigating this angle. I request the chief minister to hand over the investigation to the CBI," Tiwari's uncle Babu Prakash Tiwari had told reporters. He also claimed a youth recently became a victim of poisoning and disappeared from Pipariya town. Archana's last location was traced to Itarsi station. After that, her mobile phone was found switched off, according to the police. On August 7, the lawyer had left for Katni by the Narmada Express train, but did not reach her destination. Following this, her family members had lodged a missing person complaint at the Rani Kamalapati GRP police station in Bhopal. Police searched for clues in areas ranging from Rani Kamalapati station to Itarsi and Katni, and scanned CCTV cameras of stations and surrounding areas.

Jaipur Woman, Lover Arrested For Murdering Her Husband, Watched TV Show 'CID' To Get Ideas
Jaipur Police arrested a woman and her lover for killing her husband. The murder plot was inspired by crime shows like CID. In a chilling case reported from Rajasthan's Jaipur, a woman allegedly killed her husband with the help of her lover and dumped the body near a football ground. This is the second such incident reported from Rajasthan in a couple of days. Earlier this month, 35-year-old Manoj Kumar Raigar's body was found, his throat was slit. In the preliminary investigation, police could not find anything substantial. As per a report by India Today, on investigating the CCTV footage, Manoj was seen sitting in an E-rickshaw along with another man. On investigating this angle, police focused on Rishi Srivastava, the victim's friend and his wife's lover. Upon being questioned, Rishi confessed and told the police that he conspired with the two men to kill Manoj. The accused used different SIM cards to orchestrate the murder. Both the wife and her lover are now arrested. In another case reported from Jaipur on Tuesday, a woman and her lover were arrested in connection with the murder of her husband in Kheirathal Tijara district. As per the police, Laxmi Devi, the wife of Hansram, and her lover Jitendra Sharma, the son of the married couple's landlord, were held Monday night after being absconding. After killing the husband, the duo dumped his body in a plastic tank. They absconded and after being caught, they confessed to the crime during questioning. The incident that took place in the Kishangarhbas Police Station area came to light on Sunday. Superintendent of Police Manish Chaudhary said the two were detained from a brick kiln in Alwada village of Alwar district. 'Initial investigations indicate that Laxmi and Jitendra plotted the murder in a bid to conceal their affair. The victim, Hansram, was killed on the night of August 15. The body was later found inside a blue plastic drum on the roof of their rented accommodation," SP was quoted as saying by PTI. Laxmi had borrowed the drum from her landlord, saying she needed it to store water. view comments First Published: August 20, 2025, 10:17 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
