Safi has come to district headquarters along with his elder wife, younger wife and two children after the family of Chaudhary thrashed and threatened him with life. He said he came to Rajbiraj after he was threatened to quit the village.
Safi had married to Basanti with the consent of his elder wife Gitadevi and legal recognition of the district court four months ago. They had been working in India and had returned home just a few days ago.
Basanti said she is a three-month pregnant and the villagers thrashed her even when she told them about her condition. She urged the media persons to help create a situation for rehabilitation and security for them in the village. Currently, they are taking refuge at a Maoist office in Rajbiraj.
