NEW DELHI: A 40-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh was stunned to comprehend that his missing wife had eloped, after spotting her with another man in a WhatsApp video taken at the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Shakir, who had returned home on April 15 after attending a family wedding, found his house locked and his wife Anjum and their four children missing.
On April 18, he filed a missing person report at the Rorawar police station in Aligarh.
"Neighbours told him Anjum had left with the children and taken valuables from the house," said Rorawar SHO Shiv Shankar Gupta. "She left before anyone could intervene."
After days of unsuccessful searching, a relative of Shakir came across a WhatsApp status video in which Anjum was seen at the Taj Mahal with an unidentified man.
Shakir recognised the man as someone from the commercial area where he worked.
"It appears Anjum and the man developed a relationship and decided to elope during Shakir's absence," Gupta said.
Police suspect the two had developed a relationship and used Shakir’s absence to elope.
Authorities in Aligarh have alerted Agra police and are now tracking the couple.
