Aligarh, February 12: A woman from Aligarh who made national headlines last year for eloping with her son-in-law has reportedly abandoned him for a new partner, according to local authorities. Sarita, 38, allegedly left her 20-year-old partner, Rahul, on February 6. Rahul has since approached the police, claiming that Sarita fled their home in Sitamarhi, Bihar, with his brother-in-law, taking ₹2 lakh in cash and significant valuables.

The relationship between Sarita and Rahul began under unusual circumstances ten months ago. Sarita had originally arranged for her daughter to marry Rahul. However, during the engagement period, a romantic relationship developed between the mother-in-law and the prospective groom. Aligarh Shocker: Woman Elopes With Daughter’s Fiancé Days Before Wedding in Uttar Pradesh, Takes Jewellery and Cash.
