The video shows a distressed BPSC teacher being compelled to marry a woman named Gunjan at a temple in Bihar's Jinendpur Panchayat area. The caption accompanying the video read, “BPSC teacher's forced marriage, girl said- had affair for four years, refused to marry when he got a job.”

The incident occurred when Avnish Kumar, on his way to school, was intercepted by two Scorpio vehicles. Armed men forcibly took him from his e-rickshaw and escorted him to a temple, where the wedding rituals were conducted against his will.

Woman Claims Four-Year Relationship with BPSC Teacher

Gunjan, the woman involved, alleged that she and Avnish were in a committed relationship for several years. She claimed he had promised to marry her, frequently visited her family and even introduced her to his school and home in Katihar. However, according to Gunjan, after securing his government job through the BPSC exam, Avnish broke off contact and refused to fulfill his promise.

Faced with what she described as betrayal, Gunjan’s family allegedly took matters into their own hands, leading to the forced marriage.

BPSC Teacher Denies Relationship, Accuses Woman of Harassment

Avnish, however, denied all allegations of a romantic relationship. He claimed the abduction and subsequent forced wedding were premeditated actions orchestrated by Gunjan and her family. In his statement, he accused them of physical assault and harassment.

Pakadwa Vivah Cases on the Rise in Bihar

This incident highlights the prevalence of Pakadwa Vivah, a disturbing practice where men are forced into marriage under duress, often at gunpoint. Policedata shows that 2024 has recorded the highest number of such cases in three decades, underscoring the need for stricter law enforcement and public awareness.

Complaints Filed by Both Parties

Both Avnish Kumar and Gunjan have approached the authorities. Avnish lodged a complaint against Gunjan’s family for kidnapping and physical assault, while Gunjan filed a counter-complaint seeking justice for what she claims is a broken promise.
