A deeply unusual family dispute from Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh district has taken yet another dramatic turn, leaving locals stunned and raising serious questions about relationships, responsibility, and the emotional toll on children caught in the middle.
Three months ago, 38-year-old Anita Devi walked out of her home, leaving behind her husband Omveer and their four children. She chose to live with Rahul — the very man who was engaged to marry her daughter. The incident shocked the neighborhood and quickly became the subject of intense public discussion.
Her family tried repeatedly to bring her back. Her husband made efforts. Her children reportedly pleaded with her. But Anita refused to return home.
As the controversy simmered, life moved on in unexpected ways. Omveer eventually remarried, deciding not to wait any longer. Meanwhile, Anita continued living with Rahul, despite the social backlash and the emotional damage caused within the family.
Now, in a surprising twist, Anita has reportedly left Rahul as well. According to police sources, she has moved in with her brother-in-law, adding another complicated layer to an already tangled story.
Rahul has filed a complaint at the local police station, accusing Anita of leaving with ₹2 lakh in cash and jewelry. He claimed that she fled with the money and valuables, prompting him to seek legal action.
Soon after the complaint was filed, Anita herself arrived at the police station to give her version of events. In her statement, she reportedly admitted that choosing to live with Rahul was a mistake. She alleged that Rahul physically assaulted her and behaved inappropriately with women. She made it clear that she does not intend to return to him.
She told authorities that she wants to live her life on her own terms and no longer wishes to continue the relationship.
Police officials have confirmed that the complaint has been registered and the matter is under investigation. Authorities are examining both Rahul’s allegations of theft and Anita’s claims of assault and misconduct. Further legal action will depend on the findings.
Amid the sensational twists, the most affected appear to be the children. Anita’s daughter, whose marriage was originally fixed with Rahul, remains unmarried. The broken engagement and public controversy have reportedly made it difficult for her to find a new match. The social stigma attached to the incident continues to cast a shadow over her future.
What makes the case particularly striking is the rapid sequence of events: a mother leaving with her future son-in-law, the husband remarrying within months, the same woman leaving her new partner for another relative, and now allegations and counter-allegations being investigated by police.
Beyond the sensational headlines lies a fractured family struggling with emotional and social consequences. While adults involved are making personal choices, the ripple effects are being felt most strongly by the younger members of the family.
As the investigation continues, the case remains one of the most unusual domestic disputes reported from Aligarh in recent times — a story marked by betrayal, shifting loyalties, and the harsh realities of broken relationships.
