Hardoi: In an incident reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi, a man missing for nearly seven years was traced and arrested after his wife spotted him in an Instagram reel with another woman.
Jitendra Kumar, also known as Bablu, went missing in 2018, just a year after marrying Sheelu. The marriage reportedly turned sour due to alleged dowry demands, including a gold chain and a ring. After Sheelu was forced out of her marital home for failing to meet these demands, her family filed a dowry harassment complaint, India Today reported on Tuesday.
Amid the investigation into the dowry case, Jitendra mysteriously disappeared. His father filed a missing person report on April 20, 2018. With no progress in the case, the family later accused Sheelu and her relatives of killing Jitendra and disposing of his body.
For years, Sheelu lived in hope, unaware of her husband’s whereabouts. Seven years later, Sheelu came across an Instagram reel that featured her husband with another woman. Recognising him instantly, Sheelu immediately reported the matter to Kotwali Sandila police.
A police investigation revealed that Jitendra had staged his disappearance and relocated to Ludhiana, where he had married another woman, added the report.
Sandila Circle Officer Santosh Singh confirmed that Jitendra has been taken into custody based on Sheelu’s complaint and supporting evidence from social media. A case has been registered under relevant legal sections pertaining to bigamy, fraud, and dowry harassment.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
