A young woman in Jajpur, Odisha took a stand for her rights on Wednesday as she staged a protest outside her lover's locked residence. The 22-year-old demanded that he fulfill his promise of marriage after they had entered into a physical relationship.
To make matters worse, the woman also filed a complaint with the police, accusing her 25-year-old lover of taking cash and jewelry worth lakhs of rupees from her. The local authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter and have launched a search for the accused man and his family.
The events leading up to the protest began when the couple returned to their village in Panikoili from New Delhi, where they had been living together for the past month. They had eloped to the capital city after facing opposition from the man's family for their relationship.
However, the man's family had recently agreed to their marriage and asked them to return to the village. But upon their return, the woman was left stranded as her lover quickly drove off, leaving her alone in front of his locked house.
With no place to go, the woman then went to her own house, but her parents refused to let her in. Feeling helpless and betrayed, she decided to stage a dharna in front of her lover's residence, seeking justice for herself.
In a statement, the woman revealed, "He promised to marry me and took advantage of me sexually. He also took away Rs 4 lakh in cash and gold ornaments worth over Rs 3 lakh. But he left me stranded and betrayed my trust."
The police intervened and convinced the woman to file a written complaint. "We have registered a case based on her complaint and have launched an investigation. The accused and his family have fled from the village and we are currently searching for them," said a police official.
