Love knows no bounds, but in Bihar’s Aurai village, it has ignited a firestorm. 28-year-old Shaishta Parveen, a teacher, and 60-year-old Rakesh Shah, her school principal, disappeared together, resurfacing via viral social media posts from a Nepalese temple wedding.
Working side-by-side fueled their affair. On February 18, they crossed into Nepal for a simple ceremony—garlands exchanged before deities. Photos capture their bliss, but joy turned to uproar when the images spread like wildfire online.
In the viral clip, Shaishta speaks out: ‘This is my decision. I’m content with Rakesh. No one kidnapped me—please don’t harass his family.’ Her words aim to quell rumors, but her family remains unconvinced.
Shaishta’s brother filed serious charges at Aurai thana, implicating Rakesh (a father of four), his spouse, daughter, and others in an abduction plot tied to marriage and conversion motives. The complaint details a calculated scheme by the school head.
Local tensions simmer due to religious divides. Rakesh’s properties are locked; police presence has surged. Officer Raja Singh states the team is meticulously checking facts, including video verification, while patrolling to ensure calm.
As this tale grips the nation, it spotlights clashes between personal freedom and family honor. Will authorities side with love or allegations? The village holds its breath.
