Patna: An upper caste
woman abducted in Bihar 12 days ago allegedly for marrying a Dalit
against her family's wishes remains untraced, police said Sunday.
The husband, Krishna Prasad Ram, who was stabbed 20 times during
the July 17 kidnapping, is still undergoing in a hospital in
Motihari town.
Police say there are no clues about the whereabouts of Khushboo
Singh, who was seized when she, her husband and their
six-month-old son were set to go to a court from the Motihari
railway station.
As the husband collapsed, her attackers left presuming he was
dead.
Khushboo and Krishna married a year ago in a Bihar court. Both are
from Gaunahi village in East Champaran district.
They had come to Motihari for a court case regarding a kidnapping
case lodged by her father against Krishna.
"There is no breakthrough in the (case)," police officer Vijay
Kumar told IANS over telephone.
Another police official said on the condition of anonymity that
Khushboo may have been killed soon after her abduction.
"She may have become a victim of honour killing because she
married a Dalit," he said.
The stabbed husband has blamed his wife's family for the crime.
According to police, all the accused are absconding.
