He beat his wife before fleeing as well...
An incident came to light, where a man gave triple talaq to his wife on a moving train and then fled away.
On April 29, the incident occurred just before the Jhansi Junction when Mohammad Arshad, 28 years old, was travelling with his wife Afsana who was 26 years old.
As the train chugged into the Jhansi station, Arshad gave triple talaq to his wife and got off the train. He also beat his wife before fleeing off from there.
Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Afsana contacted the Government Railway Police, which sent her back to Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat, from where she had boarded the train for Bhopal.
An FIR was finally filed and a search was launched for the accused.
Arshad, a computer engineer employed with a private firm in Bhopal, married Afsana, a graduate hailing from Kota in Rajasthan, on January 12, 2024.
The match was made through a matrimonial site.
When the couple visited Arshad's ancestral house in the Pukhrayan, Afsana was shocked to find that Arshad was married to another girl already.
When she confronted him, he and his mother began to harass her for dowry, according to the complaint.
This continued until Arshad finally pronounced the triple talaq and disappeared after abandoning her on the train.
In an appealing video that has gone viral, Afsana has requested Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to help her and also take action against such people who divorce women and abandon them.
