A man in Uttar Pradesh’s Sant Kabir Nagar, fearing harm after the notorious drum murder in Meerut and a contract killing case in Auraiya, took an unusual step to protect himself and his children. Bablu, from Katar Jot village, learned that his wife Radhika had been having an affair with another man, Vikas, for over a year. Instead of confronting her, Bablu arranged for them to marry, even acting as a legal witness during the registration. He took this step to avoid any possible retaliation and to ensure peace.
Radhika and Vikas got married in a Hindu ceremony at a Shiva temple, with their children present. Bablu, who had been married to Radhika since 2017, explained his actions by saying, “I decided to arrange their marriage to avoid potential harm to myself. In recent days, we have seen that husbands have been killed by their wives… After seeing what happened in Meerut, I decided to get my wife married to her lover so that we can both live peacefully.”
However, the story took an unexpected turn when Radhika’s mother-in-law intervened. Concerned for her two grandchildren, she asked Radhika to return to her husband. “Vikas is my son. I have asked Radhika to return to Bablu and her two children. I was feeling very bad for the two little boys,” the mother-in-law said. Radhika agreed, and Bablu accepted her back into the family, stating, “Yes, she was married to someone else. She is innocent. I am taking her back and I will be responsible for anything that happens to her from now on. We will live like a family.”
