UP : बरेली में सद्दाम और संजना 28 जुलाई को चले गए। संजना ने वीडियो जारी कर शादी करने की बात कही। एक अगस्त को पुलिस ने दोनों बरामद कर लिए। कल रात लोगों ने सद्दाम का घर फूंक दिया। पुलिस गाड़ी के शीशे तोड़ दिए। अफेयर की वजह से पुलिस ने अपहरण की FIR नहीं लिखी, गुस्सा इसलिए था। pic.twitter.com/mnXK1KvsWJ
