BAREILLY: Police on Tuesday rescued a girl from Tinsukia in Assam and her 25-year-old husband, who were found lying unconscious along railway tracks under Fatehganj (West) police jurisdiction, and admitted them to the emergency ward of the district hospital.

The girl, Baby (18), alleged that her husband Moradabad resident Hira (25), had thrown her off a speeding train, and himself jumped off it afterwards.

“I used to receive calls from an unknown number for around three months. Eventually, I started talking to the caller (Hira) and then fell in love with him. We then decided to get married. On July 26, Hira reached Tinsukia and I eloped with him. We reached Patna the next day, stayed in a hotel for two days and got married in a temple on July 29,” the girl said.

Baby added they boarded a Moradabad-bound train on Tuesday. The train had just crossed

when Hira threw her off.

Hira was not in any condition to narrate his side of the story, but Baby insisted she had been thrown off the running train, after which her husband followed voluntarily. She also said her father, Upendra Ram, was an employee of Tinsukia municipality, and that she had dropped off school after Class V. SP (city) Abhinandan Singh said GRP has been instructed to probe the case, while the girl has been referred to Lucknow in a critical condition.
