Patna: A Bihar youth
whose reported disappearance triggered violent protests in his
home town Madhubani last week that left three people dead, was
presented with his girlfriend in a district court Friday, police
said.
Prashant Jha and Preeti Choudhary were brought to the court of the
chief judicial magistrate of Madhubani, about 170 km from here,
and the couple was sent to a remand home, a police official said.
A police team brought the teenaged couple from New Delhi to
Madhubani late Thursday after they were spotted in south Delhi's
Mehrauli area Monday.
They had stayed at Ranchi in Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir and
Darjeeling in West Bengal before reaching Delhi by train. They
were detained after they failed to provide proper identity proof.
Prashant Jha, a Class 10 student, went missing along with Preeti
from his school last month. A week after a missing person
complaint was lodged with police, an unclaimed headless body was
recovered by police in Madhubani early this month.
On being shown to his family members, they identified the body as
that of Prashant, police said.
But Bihar Police refused to hand over the body to his family
without confirmation of the identity, police said.
After that, the district witnessed violent protests last Friday
and Saturday in which three youths were killed in police firing
and nearly a dozen people were injured.
Opposition parties enforced a daylong shutdown in Bihar Monday to
protest the killings in the police firing in Madhubani.
Superintendent of Police Ranjeet Kumar Mishra said that 30 first
information reports (FIRs) have been filed in connection with the
violence and 17 people have been arrested.
