19-Yr-Old Girl, 30-Yr-Old Truck Driver, & An Angry Family: Love Story Shocks Churu Village
Last Updated: A 19-year-old Rajasthan girl defied her family to marry a 30-year-old truck driver, sparking uproar in her village. The couple now seeks police protection to live in peace A strange and controversial love story has emerged from Churu district of Rajasthan, involving a 19-year-old girl who fell in love with a truck driver. As their relationship deepened, tensions with her family grew, eventually leading to the couple eloping and marrying. However, their troubles didn't end there, as their union, which went against both social and familial expectations, sparked a public outcry. Determination To Fight For Love The young woman, Rekha Kumari Prajapat, a 19-year-old from Gogatia village in Taranagar tehsil, has shown remarkable determination in the face of opposition. Rekha, who was pursuing her BSTC course in Churu, met Kanhaiyalal Sharma, a 30-year-old truck driver with a Class 10 education, two years ago. Initially, Kanhaiyalal was employed driving a van for a private school in the area. Their friendship eventually blossomed into love over a span of two-and-a-half years. Family Disapproval And Forced Separation Six months ago, Rekha informed her family about the relationship, but they strongly disapproved. According to Rekha, she was beaten, her mobile phone was taken away, and she was pressured to end things with Kanhaiyalal. Family Backlash And Police Involvement Upon discovering the marriage, Rekha's family caused an uproar. Despite the opposition, Rekha and Kanhaiyalal have maintained that their decision was made entirely of their own free will, without any external coercion. Rekha, however, remains fearful of her parents and has expressed her reluctance to meet them. She left home with only her essential documents. Seeking Protection And A Peaceful Life Now married, the couple seeks to live a peaceful life free from further disputes. Both families are tense and worried following the unexpected love marriage. Rekha and Kanhaiyalal have approached the local Superintendent of Police seeking protection from Rekha's family, though neither side has filed any legal complaints as of yet. view comments First Published: August 01, 2025, 09:08 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chetganj Station Officer Dilip Mishra stated that a team of electricity department officials and staff went to the site amidst tight security arrangements to comply with a High Court order ensuring that the power connection to the commercial site of Dhaval Prakash Agrawal was provided.

They were booked for breaching peace and rioting, he added.

Amit Shah in Jaipur for Cooperative Festival; Gehlot raises Kanhaiyalal case, demands answers
JAIPUR: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is visiting Dadiya village in Jaipur on Thursday to attend the Co-operation and Employment Festival. During the event, major announcements related to the cooperative sector are expected, and appointment letters will be distributed among the youth. However, the visit has drawn sharp political reactions. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot criticised the Union Minister, demanding answers over the lack of progress in the Kanhaiyalal murder case. 'Today Union Home Minister Amit Shah is coming to Jaipur. Before the assembly elections, you mentioned the Kanhaiyalal case in every rally in Rajasthan and asked for votes in his name,' Gehlot posted on X. He accused the BJP of misleading the public on compensation to the victim's family. 'Rajasthan Police arrested the accused within four hours. Both were associated with the BJP. Despite this, the NIA, under your ministry, took over the case overnight. We didn't object. But the BJP continued to spread lies about compensation, which was one of the major reasons behind our government's fall,' he wrote. Gehlot expressed dismay over the slow pace of justice. 'Three years have passed, but the NIA court has not delivered any sentence. There isn't even a regular judge in the NIA court here, and witness statements haven't been recorded yet,' he said. He urged Shah to respond to the people of Rajasthan: 'How long will Kanhaiyalal's family wait for justice? Will the BJP continue to politicise the issue, or is it serious about delivering justice?' On June 28, 2022, Kanhaiyalal, a tailor from Udaipur, was brutally murdered by two men after he posted content on social media in support of BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. The attackers recorded the killing and shared the video online, sparking nationwide outrage. The case was later handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

Ashok Gehlot questions Amit Shah on delay in Kanhaiyalal case probe
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has raised questions over the prolonged delay in justice for Kanhaiyalal, whose murder became a political flashpoint ahead of the previous Assembly elections. Taking to social media just ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Jaipur, Gehlot alleged that despite quick action by the Rajasthan Police, the case has seen no substantial progress under the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which falls under Shah's ministry. Gehlot recalled that before the 2023 Assembly elections, Amit Shah repeatedly invoked the Kanhaiyalal case in election rallies across Rajasthan to target the then Congress-led state government. 'In this case, the Rajasthan Police arrested the accused within just four hours. Both were found to be linked to the BJP. Yet the NIA took over the investigation overnight. We did not object, despite that,' Gehlot stated. He alleged that the BJP misled the public with false claims of Rs 5 lakh to Rs 50 lakh compensation being paid, which he claimed significantly contributed to the Congress government's defeat. 'Even after three years, justice has not been served. The NIA court doesn't even have a regular judge, and it has failed to get the statements of key witnesses recorded to date,' Gehlot added. Demanding answers from the Union Home Minister, Gehlot questioned how much longer Kanhaiyalal's family will have to wait for justice. 'The BJP used this case for political mileage, but they have done nothing to ensure speedy justice,' he said. He urged Shah to speak on the status of the case during his Jaipur visit and asked whether the Centre plans to strengthen the judicial process or continue using such sensitive matters for political benefit. It needs to be mentioned here that Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will visit Jaipur to participate in the Cooperative and Employment Festival being organised in Dadiya village on Thursday. The event is set to bring several major benefits to Rajasthan. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that over 8,000 youth will receive appointment letters during the event. He also confirmed that Union Minister Shah will announce several developmental initiatives for the state. As part of the programme, HM Shah will inaugurate 24 warehouses constructed under the Food Storage Scheme and launch 64 millet outlets to promote "Shri Anna". In addition, loans worth approximately Rs 12 crore will be distributed to 1,400 beneficiaries under the Gopal Credit Card Scheme. He will also hand over 2,346 micro ATMs to milk-producing cooperative societies. A significant highlight of the event will be the launch of the White Revolution 2.0 PDCS online registration platform, aimed at streamlining the dairy cooperative sector. HM Shah will also flag off 100 new police vehicles during the occasion. The Home Minister is expected to visit an exhibition showcasing the achievements of the Cooperative Department, underlining the government's commitment to empowering the rural economy and youth employment
