Jamshedpur, June 21: An interesting saga of kidnapping, marriage and a forceful eviction from a Baharagora house came to light today when Kalipada Ghosh and his daughter Nivedita approached East Singhbhum deputy commissioner (DC) Nitin Madan Kulkarni pleading for help.

According to Ghosh his 19-year-old son Ravi Shankar was abducted by Bimal Senapati in March 2006.

The father further alleged that for his minor son it wasn’t quite a match made in heaven

A hapless Ghosh explained that on March 9, 2007, the family came to know that their only son, Ravi Shankar, had been wedded to Rita, Senapati’s daughter.

At the time of marriage Rita was 16.

“When we came to know about the marriage we severed all ties with our son. Last week the girl’s family forcefully threw us from our own house. A day later my own son and daughter-in-law were handed over the house. We were also threatened to stay mum and not to approach the local police,” said Ghosh.

Senapati, who has a flourishing dairy business, apparently enjoys a strong and friendly “connection” with the local police. The Ghosh family was so intimated by Senapati’s threat that the family decided to come all the way to Jamshedpur to seek administration’s help.

“Although Ravi Shankar was still a minor when he married we did not o to the police. But last week when we were thrown of our own house we decided enough was enough. We want our house back. If my son still wishes to stay with his bride then he may do so. But certainly not in our home,” said Ghosh.

However, Ghosh senior still believes that his son was “pressurised” into the union by the Senapatis.

“We did not create any scene when we heard the terrible news. We know that our son would not shirk from his responsibilities even if he is pressed into a false situation,” he stressed. “I know that some sort of ‘threat’ and his sense of duty is stopping him from coming back and living with us,” he claimed.

So far, the DC has also declined to help the Ghosh family saying that it was criminal case and it should be reported to the police first.

He asked them to take up the matter with the police and if the local officials deny help, to report the matter to the superintendent of police.
