The Police claimed that Ashok, a compounder at a doctor’s clinic got involved with Varsha who was also working there. Things however went a bit awry after Ashok’s marraige was arranged with another girl from Hamirpur. Following this, he stopped responding to his alleged girlfriend’s calls , SMS and WhatsApp messages.

Following the dramatic set of events, the police was called in to investigate. The DCP of Maudaha police circle said he believes the kidnapping was staged and the couple were hand in glove.
