The police rescued Tara Shahdeo last week from the house of Rohit Kohli alias Rakilbul Hussain after she filed an FIR with the Hindpiri police station complaining of physical torture and exploitation, Ranchi Superintendent of Police Anoop Birtheray said here.
Quoting the FIR, a police officer with the Hindpiri police station said, "The girl filed the FIR saying she got married at a hotel in Ranchi under Hindu rituals on July 7. The next day at her in-law's house, Nikah was organised at a simple ceremony. She came to know about the faith of her husband when she saw him praying."
The woman had married Rohit Kohli alias Rakilbul Hussain on July 7 last and Kohli and his father had recently started believing in Islam, the SP said.
"The house and three cars of Kohlis were sealed today. Both the boy and his mother are absconding. A team has been set up to arrest them," the SP said.
According to the Hindpiri police official, the girl came to know about her husband's faith only after her marriage and sent a text message to her family on August 19 when she got an opportunity.
Jharkhand Women's Commission Chairperson Mahua Manjhi met Sahdeo on Saturday and assured her of all help.
