In a dramatic turn of events late Wednesday night, the Gurugram Police rescued a young woman from her residence in Sector 9 after she alleged that her parents were holding her captive to force her into an unwanted marriage. The woman, who is the daughter of a local BJP councillor, was scheduled to be married today, December 4.

The complaint, which was also sent to the Commissioner of Police (CP), the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), the Women's Commission, and the Chief Minister, detailed her confinement and the imminent threat to her safety. Following the rescue, the police moved the woman to a safe house for her protection.
