A young couple Ramesh alias Hitesh (21) and Nankibai (19) were tortured beyond imagination by Nankibai’s family in Hardaspur village under Ambua police station area on July 25. The ‘mistake’ they committed was to marry against the wishes of their parents.
According to a report, the couple was abducted at gunpoint from the girl’s uncle house at around 4 am. The boy was tied to a pole and thrashed badly outside the girl’s house. The girl was also beaten up by her father and uncles and her head was tonsured as punishment before she was stripped partially.
Both Ramesh and Nankibai were subsequently forced to consume urine by the accused. The accused subsequently set the young couple free, after telling them that the torture was punishment to the girl and her husband for marrying against the wishes of the girl’s parents.

“A case has been registered under Sections 147, 148, 454 and 354 of IPC against six men, including the girl’s father and uncles following a complaint by the young couple. Two of the accused have been arrested,” said Ambua police station in-charge Vikas Kapis on Tuesday.
According to unconfirmed sources, Nankibai’s parents are very powerful in Hardaspur village.
Two and half months back, the couple had eloped and married each other against the wishes of girl’s parents. Both of them were subsequently brought before a tribal panchayat, which had slapped Rs 70,000 vadhu-mulya (penalty on Ramesh’s family).
