VIZHINJAM: Bride Alfiya reacted to the incident of being forcibly taken away from the marriage venue. She said the police forcibly took her and that she came with Akhil on her own will.

‘She came with Akhil on Friday. The family had first filed a case. I gave a written statement that I was going with him. Then a missing case was filed there. They want to take me away and not leave me with him. They did that as they didn’t want me to go with him,’ she told a channel.

'The police intervened very badly yesterday. They pushed me and behaved badly. I came after leaving my family. There was no need to do this a second time. The wedding has been fixed for tomorrow evening. We have known each other for a year,’ clarified Akhil.

The Kayamkulam police, who came to investigate the complaint of her parents that their daughter was missing, forcibly took away the bride during the wedding yesterday. The dramatic events took place at Kovalam K S Road around 4 pm. The youth's father filed a complaint with the Kovalam police. Finally, after being produced before the magistrate, the girl was left with the youth.
