In a startling incident, a man on a moving train gave his wife triple talaq and then ran away.
On April 29, just before Jhansi Junction, Mohammad Arshad, 28, and his wife Afsana, 26, were traveling when the incident happened.
Upon reaching the Jhansi station, Arshad offered his spouse triple talaq and disembarked from the train. Before leaving, he had also beaten his wife.
Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Afsana contacted the Government Railway Police, which sent her back to Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat, from where she had boarded the train for Bhopal, earlier that day.
An FIR was finally lodged and a manhunt was launched for the accused.
Arshad, a computer engineer employed with a private firm in Bhopal, had married Afsana, a graduate hailing from Kota in Rajasthan, on January 12 this year.
The match was made through a matrimonial advertisement.
When the couple visited Arshad’s ancestral house in the Pukhrayan last week, Afsana was shocked to find that Arshad was already married.
The complaint states that he and his mother harassed her for dowry when she confronted them.
This went on until Arshad eventually gave the triple talaq and left her on the train, never to be seen again.
Afsana has beseeched Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for assistance and for taking action against those who divorce and desert their women in a video that has since gone viral.
According to Circle Officer (CO) Priya Singh, a case has been filed against the woman’s husband Arshad, father Nafeesul Hasan, mother Parveen, and his maternal uncle Aqeel, based on her complaint.
“The matter will be investigated, and action will be taken,” the CO added.
