Victim and Background
Priyanka, originally from Banaskantha district, Gujarat, married Ravinder Singh of Mathura four years ago. She currently works at ICICI Bank’s Bhuteshwar branch, while her husband is employed at the Kosikalan branch. Priyanka’s family had consistently pressured her to leave her husband and return home, opposing the inter-state love marriage.

Police immediately launched a cordon operation. Kotwali In-Charge Vinod Babu Mishra confirmed that the victim’s father has been warned, and several teams are working to track the vehicle and ensure Priyanka’s safe recovery.
