A strange incident in India's Uttar Pradesh’s has gone viral on social media after a missing man was discovered through an Instagram reel.
According to Indian media reports, a Hardoi native who disappeared shortly after his marriage was spotted in a video with another woman in Ludhiana, seven years after he was last seen.
The reports stated that Jitendra Kumar married a woman named Sheelu from Meran Nagar in 2017. Soon after the wedding, the couple welcomed a baby boy. However, Jitendra and his family allegedly began harassing Sheelu for dowry, demanding a gold chain and other valuables.
In 2018, Jitendra suddenly went missing, and his disappearance was reported to the police. Despite extensive searches, no information about him was uncovered. During this time, Jitendra’s family accused Sheelu’s relatives of murdering him, forcing Sheelu to live with her son at her parents’ home.
However, fate took an unexpected turn a few days ago when Sheelu, while browsing Instagram, saw a reel featuring her husband with another woman in Ludhiana.
Sheelu claimed that Jitendra had remarried and was living with the woman seen in the video. She also alleged that Jitendra’s family knew about this but kept it a secret.
Police said Jitendra left home without informing anyone a year after the marriage, and a missing person report had been filed in 2018. After confirming his whereabouts, Sheelu has submitted a new complaint to the police. Authorities have started an investigation into the matter.
