As the boy was a major, he was allowed to go to his family while the girl, a minor, had been put up in the Balika Grih in Daltonganj, added Yadav.

A message from both the families for rescuing them had come on the Lapata Help Desk of the RPF.

The two rescued tried to impress the RPF that they had married in a Barkakana temple, which was a white lie.

This is the second rescue under the operation of Nanhey Farishtey in 2024 by the RPF Garhwa Road railway junction post.
