After Anju, Another Rajasthan Woman Elopes With Lover To Kuwait

A woman from Rajasthan, aged 35, has eloped to Kuwait with another man, leaving behind her husband and two children. The husband reported the incident to the police, alleging that his wife absconded with cash and jewellery from their home in Dungarpur district, Rajasthan.

The woman, identified as Deepika Patidar, fled in the company of her friend, Irfan Haidar. Her family became aware of the situation when pictures of her wearing a burqa began circulating on social media, as reported by Press Trust of India and confirmed by the police.

This situation bears resemblance to the case of Anju, an Indian woman who ventured to Pakistan to reunite with a friend. Hailing from the Bhiwadi district in Rajasthan, Anju embarked on a journey to Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in July with the intention of meeting her 29-year-old Facebook acquaintance, Nasrullah, and later tied the knot in a local court.

Despite being married and a mother of two, Anju departed from her family in Rajasthan on July 21 and crossed the border into Pakistan. She had informed her husband that she was travelling to Jaipur to see her friend while simultaneously notifying her employer that she was heading to Goa to visit her sister.

In the recent incident, Mukesh Patidar informed the police that he is employed in Mumbai while his wife, Patidar, resides at their home in Rajasthan along with their two children, aged 11 and 7 years.

Deepika had a history of travelling to Gujarat or Udaipur for medical treatment. On July 10, she left for Gujarat, claiming illness, and did not return until July 13. Instead, she contacted her husband via WhatsApp, expressing her discontent and stating that she had distanced herself from him.

Upon returning home, Mukesh discovered that a significant amount of cash and valuable jewellery had gone missing. During a statement on Monday, Mukesh Patidar asserted that Haidar had influenced his wife's thoughts and induced her to convert to Islam.

Frequent visits by the woman to Khed Brahma in Gujarat's Sabar Kantha district were made to meet Haidar. Subsequently, it was revealed that Haidar had taken her to Kuwait, as stated by Chitri SHO Govind Singh.

The ongoing investigation aims to determine the circumstances surrounding her acquaintance with Haidar and the acquisition of her visa.
