MARGAO: Konkan Railway Police late last night rescued yet another minor girl who had fled from her house with her boyfriend and sought refuge on the platform of the Margao railway station.
The 17 and a half-year-old girl left her home at Dehra Dun on March 15 after answering the final paper of the 12th standard Board examination and she along with her boyfriend reportedly went to Delhi first from where they came to Goa to get married.
The boyfriend, 27-year-old Vivek Ijeek reportedly works as an agent or broker for the Road Transport Office there and had fallen in love with the Muslim girl who is his neighbour in Dehra Dun. The duo fled after she answered her last 12th standard paper because the girl was worried that her parents would forcibly marry her off to somebody else.
Meanwhile, KRC police are still awaiting the Uttar Pradesh Police to report about the other minor girl they had rescued last week. The medical reports have confirmed that the 17-year-old girl is pregnant.
Vijay Kumar Bind, 34, with whom the girl had come to Goa continues to remain in police custody even though his brother-in-law and second cousin have come to Goa to take his custody, The cousin Ramesh Babu Satya said since the girl’s husband has rejected her and as the girl wants Vijay to take care of her, he would prevail upon the family to look after the girl.
