Jalandhar witnessed a dramatic turn in a sensitive case where a 19-year-old girl had accused her fiancé and his friend of physical exploitation and leaking objectionable videos. Following the complaint, police had registered a case against both accused youths.
However, in a surprising development, both families have now reached a compromise, calling the entire issue a "misunderstanding." Avtar Singh Sandhu, father of the accused youth, stated, “We have resolved the matter mutually. Any bitterness between the families has been cleared. If my son has made any mistake, I apologize.”
The girl also released a video message saying, “After talking with each other, we realized it was a misunderstanding. The issue has been resolved, and I don’t want any legal action.”
Earlier, the Punjab State Women Commission had taken suo moto notice of the case, terming the incident unfortunate, and directed Jalandhar SSP to submit a report by August 22.
With the families now declaring reconciliation, attention remains on how the police and the Commission will proceed with the case.
