Kanpur, January 24: A shocking incident from Kanpur has gone viral after a young man nearly lost his life when his girlfriend allegedly locked him inside an iron trunk to avoid being caught by her family. According to a report by NDTV, the incident took place in Kanpur’s Chakeri area. The woman had invited her boyfriend over in the afternoon after her family left for work. The man, who lived just seven houses away, arrived at her home assuming it was safe.

Trouble began when the woman’s aunt, residing in an adjacent building, heard suspicious noises coming from the room. When she knocked on the door, the woman panicked and hid her boyfriend inside a large iron trunk before opening the door and pretending nothing was wrong. Odisha Girl Locks Boyfriend Inside Trunk Box, Pleads Family Not to Harm Boy After Getting Caught; Viral Video Surfaces.

Despite searching the premises for nearly 45 minutes, the family found nothing, until muffled sounds came from the trunk. Even then, the woman allegedly refused to hand over the keys, claiming her clothes were inside.
