A team of Madhya Pradesh Police arrived in Kochi, Kerala, to investigate the marriage of a young woman who became prominent during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela. The girl, who claims to be 18 years old, married Mohammad Farman, a Muslim man from Palra in Uttar Pradesh, at a temple in Thiruvananthapuram last month. However, her parents allege she is only 16 years old and have filed a case against Farman at the Maheshwar police station in Madhya Pradesh. The Kerala High Court granted Farman temporary protection from arrest until May 20. The police team, which includes a woman officer, visited the Thrikkakara police station to gather information on the couple's whereabouts. Although they believe the couple resides in Kalamassery, they have not yet located them. The girl has submitted a petition seeking police protection, fearing attempts to forcibly return her to Madhya Pradesh. Political figures, including leaders from the Communist Party of India (CPI), attended the wedding and have claimed a political conspiracy is at play in this case.
