Her family members have filed a complaint with the police. The police have started searching for her.
Sources said Bablu Mandal, who is a government employee and lives in the Majidkhana area under Alipurduar-II block, married Rinku Biswas of Jashordanga area in the same block on Thursday night. Jashordanga is around 14 kilometres from the
district headquarters.
Yesterday, as arrangements were made for some other rituals of the marriage, Rinku, who is 27 years old, said that she intends to visit a nearby beauty salon to get her make-up done.
