Aligarh: A 40-year-old man who reported his wife missing discovered that she had eloped after spotting her with another man at the Taj Mahal in a video shared on WhatsApp.
Shakir had filed a police complaint, reporting that his wife Anjum was missing since April 15.
Rorawar SHO Shiv Shankar Gupta confirmed that Shakir filed the missing report April 18, alleging that his wife had disappeared mysteriously.
“Shakir had been away for a family wedding and, upon his return April 15, found his house locked and his wife and four children gone,” he said, quoting the complaint.
“Neighbours informed him that his wife had taken all their valuables and left before anyone could intervene,” he added.
After searching for her for a few days, Shakir contacted the police.
Later, his relative spotted Anjum in a video she had shared on WhatsApp. In the video, she was seen at the Taj Mahal with an unidentified man.
Shakir recognised the man from the commercial area where he worked.
“It appears Anjum and the man developed a relationship and decided to elope during Shakir’s absence,” Gupta said.
The district police alerted their counterparts in Agra and are searching for the couple.
