Lucknow, February 24: A family in Aligarh’s Palimukim area has approached the police after a 42-year-old woman allegedly eloped with her own nephew just days before her son’s scheduled wedding. The incident, which came to light on Friday, February 20, has left the family in a state of shock as preparations for the marriage were in their final stages. According to the formal complaint filed by the woman's husband, she did not leave alone; she reportedly took with her approximately INR 2 lakh in cash and gold jewelry intended for the upcoming ceremony.

The husband, a local resident of the Palimukim locality, informed authorities that his wife had been helping with the wedding arrangements when she suddenly disappeared. Suspicions arose when it was discovered that his 22-year-old nephew, who had been frequently visiting the house under the guise of assisting with the festivities, was also missing. Neighbors reported seeing the duo together shortly before they vanished, prompting the family to check the household lockers, which were found empty.
