Inter-caste marriage sparks Bengaluru drama as public mistakes girl's family for kidnappers

Men were thrashed by a crowd on Magadi Road after being suspected of kidnapping

A senior police officer said the girl was being requested to lodge a complaint so that further action could be taken.

The girl later told police that she had married a man from another caste against her family’s wishes. They wanted me to go back to Rajasthan,” she told police. Meanwhile, six people, including a nine-year-old girl, sustained injuries in the incident, police said. Police said the car rammed into other vehicles as the family allegedly tried to escape from the spot.

“I have married a man from another caste and my family was against it. Recently, we came here and my family somehow followed me. One woman who suffered serious head injuries was shifted to the ICU of a nearby private hospital. The family’s vehicle was also badly damaged in the melee.

However, the girl intervened and told the crowd that the men were her family members, including her father, who had come to take her back to Rajasthan. She said she and her husband had recently come to Bengaluru, but her family had tracked her down and wanted her to return to Rajasthan.
