Samastipur, Bihar, reels from an unbelievable crime: a competitive exam student was allegedly lured from a library, incapacitated with intoxicants, and dragged into a sham marriage lasting through his unconscious state. The grotesque affair in Shahpur Patori’s Chakranjali village has ignited fury, with incriminating videos flooding digital platforms.
23-year-old Sumit Kumar’s routine study outing ended in nightmare. Family panic set in as midnight passed without his return, leading to whispers of abduction for matrimonial coercion. Confirmed by visuals, the plot thickened horrifically.
One viral video freezes the moment Sumit faints during vows, his sedated form manipulated through pheras by insistent participants. Defying all decency, the ritual pressed on. Subsequently, footage emerges of him imprisoned in a room, claiming 24-hour detention under lock and key, crying out for intervention.
No official complaint graces police desks yet, says DSP BK Medhavi of Patouri. Yet, early intel suggests aĉĉ backstory linking the duo. ‘Social media alerted us; we’re probing the clips’ genuineness for appropriate measures,’ he assured.
This outrage exposes systemic failures in curbing honor-based violence and coerced nuptials. Advocacy groups call for immediate victim support and perpetrator prosecution. As the story unravels, it challenges Bihar’s law enforcers to dismantle networks perpetuating such barbarism, ensuring no student’s ambition is hijacked by medieval customs.
