“After getting the marriage certificate, we both took an auto-rickshaw to meet our lawyer in order to get police protection. When we reached outside Punjab police headquarters in Sector 9, a car intercepted our vehicle. Four men, including my wife’s brother, got out of the car and forcefully made her sit in the car and also took her purse which had my phone”, the complainant said.
