In Sankal village, Jamui, villagers caught a young man hiding on a roof to meet his girlfriend and subsequently arranged their marriage.
A dramatic incident unfolded in Sankal village in Jamui district, Bihar, where local residents intervened in a romantic encounter. A young man arrived at his girlfriend's house in the middle of the night, attempting to avoid detection by hiding on the roof of the residence.
The villagers, who noticed the unusual activity, searched the premises and located the hidden youth. Upon finding him, the crowd confronted the young man, leading to a physical altercation before the situation was de-escalated.
