Mangaluru: Dec 5: In an incident straight out of films, a Muslim woman hailing from Mangaluru was allegedly forcibly taken away by her relatives after attacking her Hindu husband in broad daylight in Mysuru.
The Hindu-Muslim couple from Mangaluru were living in hiding in Mysuru after marriage. Shivaraj, 22, had married his childhood friend Haleema Shahin, nine months ago, despite opposition from the latter’s parents.
Shivaraj, who had discontinued his engineering studies, married Shahin before shifting to Mysuru. They had rented a house in Krishnamurthypuram locality of Mysuru since then.
It is learnt that the duo was eking out a living with the support of Shivaraj’s parents.
On Friday afternoon, they were returning home on a two-wheeler after shopping at a supermarket on JLB?Road, near their house, when their vehicle was hit from the rear by a car.
No sooner the duo fell off the vehicle, the occupants of the car attacked Shivaraj and forcibly took away his wife in the same car.
The injured Shivaraj was treated as an out-patient at K?R?Hospital. Medical sources said that he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Following their marriage, the girl’s relatives had lodged a kidnap complaint against Shivaraj. The police had taken the duo to custody in Mysuru and had taken them to Mangaluru.
The girl, in her statement to the police said that she had married Shivaraj on her own will. The couple were freed and returned to Mysuru, but continued to live under fear.
