A young man from Telangana whose wife has gone missing for nearly a month has appealed to Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to help track her. B Vinay Babu, a 29-year-old banker in Hyderabad said his wife was abducted a month ago by her family as they were opposed to an inter-caste marriage.
Vinay’s in-laws, originally belong to Rajasthan, allegedly threatened to take his wife to Rajasthan.
Vinay, who expressed worry over his wife’s safety, met Mamata, 23, in Hyderabad and the two got married two months ago. Vijay said after the marriage, he and his wife approached the local police and reported the in-laws’ threats and the entire family was called for counselling thereafter.
Mamata also allegedly filed a police complaint saying she was worried about threats from her family. The local police, however, refused to provide security. Mamata disappeared on 28 March while Vinay was away for work. According to eyewitnesses, Mamata was forcibly taken away.
