Instead of creating conflict, Bablu took both of them to Dhanghta Tehsil, where an agreement was drawn, and he personally arranged their wedding at a local temple in the presence of villagers.

“After seeing what happened in Meerut, I decided to get my wife married to her lover so that we both can live peacefully,” Bablu told PTI.

He also stated that he would retain custody of their two children, and both families were in agreement with the new arrangement.

On being asked about the legality of the marriage, since he and Radhika are not yet divorced, Bablu claimed it was valid in the eyes of the community. “The marriage happened in front of villagers and no one objected,” he said.
