Key Takeaways
Garhwa (Jharkhand), April 8 (NationPress) In a surprising twist during a police operation targeting alleged illicit activities, a couple apprehended from a hotel in Jharkhand's Garhwa district decided to celebrate their union on the street.
Additionally, three other couples involved signed legal agreements committing to marry.
This operation was triggered by specific intelligence reports regarding the suspected operation of sex trafficking rings, leading police to carry out simultaneous raids at various hotels in the district, including Tiwari Inn, SNC, and RDS on Monday.
During the raids, numerous couples were found in compromising situations. Police proceeded to detain them along with hotel management and staff for further questioning.
In an unexpected turn of events, some detained couples expressed to the police that they were adults in consensual relationships and had intentions to marry shortly. To validate these claims, police contacted their family members.
In a dramatic moment, one couple, with their families' approval, chose to formalize their marriage immediately—right outside the police station. The couple exchanged garlands in full public view, drawing a crowd and prompting onlookers to record the event on their smartphones. Videos of this spontaneous roadside wedding quickly spread across social media platforms.
Furthermore, three other couples submitted written declarations, promising to marry soon. Following verification and necessary paperwork, they were released by law enforcement.
Meanwhile, legal actions have commenced against hotel proprietors and managers accused of facilitating these unlawful activities. Several individuals have been placed in judicial custody.
Authorities have also sealed three hotels—SNC, RDS, and Tiwari Inn—due to violations and suspected involvement in illegal operations.
Officials confirmed that this crackdown is part of an ongoing initiative against immoral trafficking and illegal practices in the city, with a thorough investigation underway to uncover the full extent of the operation.
