Kolkata, March 20 Runaway couple held
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel arrested a youth with a single-shot country-made pistol at Tarakeshwar railway station in Hooghly district on Thursday. Police said Kundan Singh, a second-year commerce student of Surendranath College, eloped with Mamata Rajak, a student of Jaipuria College, early this week. Both were residents of Bally and had an affair since the past eight years.Singh and Rajak had eloped to Tarakeshwar and got married there. They were putting up in a lodge following their marriage. “The family of the girl lodged a complaint with the Bally police station. The police managed to track down the couple to Tarakeshwar and followed them to the station in plain clothes. On being approached, the couple tried to run away. The GRP and police chased and nabbed them. A search revealed that Singh was carrying the gun,” sources said. During preliminary questioning, Singh first tried to mislead the police by saying that he had “found” the gun lying unclaimed on the train. Later, he admitted of having purchased the gun to ward off anyone who might try to separate them as there was family opposition to their marriage. Singh has been held while Rajak has since returned to her home, police said.
