A married man’s attempt to meet his married girlfriend in the dead of night in the Surguja district of Chhattisgarh resulted in a dramatic confrontation. The couple was caught, beaten, and subsequently faced a unique decree from a village panchayat.
The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Lakhanpur police station. The man, identified as Shubham Rajwade from Telaikachhar village, was caught by the woman’s family in Puhputra, where she lives after marriage. The family members apprehended the couple and tied them up before beating them. Following the incident, a panchayat was called, which delivered a surprising verdict.
Details indicate that Shubham had gone to meet his girlfriend on Monday night. Her husband was not at home, but other family members were present and discovered the meeting. They caught the couple and tied them up. Before the panchayat was held, they were beaten. The police were also informed.
The panchayat was convened to address the situation. It was disclosed that the two individuals were in a relationship before their marriages. Despite not getting married to each other, they remained in contact and continued to meet occasionally. The panchayat decided to transfer the woman to her lover’s custody, and she was permitted to leave with him. Police have confirmed that no formal complaint was lodged by either party, leading to the absence of an FIR.
