              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.
