Man Gives Triple Talaq To Wife In Moving Train, Flees After Beating Her; She Seeks Help From UP CM Yogi Adityanath

New Delhi: In a most cowardly act,  a 28-year-old man gave triple talaq to his wife in a moving train and then fled.

The incident occurred on April 29,  just before the Jhansi Junction. Mohammad Arshad was travelling with his wife Afsana, 26. As the train chugged into the Jhansi station, Arshad gave triple talaq to his wife and got off the train. He also beat his wife before fleeing, News18 reported.

Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Afsana contacted the Government Railway Police, which sent her back to Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat, from where she had boarded the train for Bhopal, earlier that day.

An FIR was finally lodged and a manhunt was launched for the accused.

Arshad, a computer engineer employed with a private firm in Bhopal, had married Afsana, a graduate from Kota in Rajasthan, on January 12 this year in a match made through a matrimonial advertisement.
