Akhil and Alfia, the couple whose wedding was disrupted by the police, have affirmed their determination to proceed with their marriage. They spoke out against the Kayamkulam police’s behavior, emphasizing that Alfia had willingly chosen to be with Akhil. Their statements shed new light on the controversial incident that unfolded just before their planned wedding.
Akhil and Alfia conveyed to Asianet News their disappointment in the conduct of the Kayamkulam police. Alfia made it clear that her decision to be with Akhil was entirely of her own volition. She had informed the Kovalam police station on Friday that she was not prepared to go with her family. However, a missing person complaint was subsequently lodged at the Kayamkulam police station on Saturday. Despite these challenges, the couple confirmed that their marriage ceremony would take place tomorrow evening.
Yesterday, dramatic events transpired at the temple venue where the couple’s wedding was scheduled. Just as Akhil and Alfia were about to exchange vows at a temple near Kovalam’s KS Road, the Kayamkulam police forcefully intervened and took Alfia, a native of Kayamkulam, into custody. She was required to appear before a magistrate in response to a complaint lodged by her relatives, claiming she was missing. Initially, she was taken to the Kovalam police station, where she adamantly refused to accompany her relatives. Eventually, she was coerced into a private vehicle.
Alfia was presented before the magistrate, who, upon hearing her plea to be with Akhil, promptly released her and permitted her to join the groom. As Alfia arrived at the residence of the First-Class Magistrate in Kayamkulam, she unequivocally expressed her desire to be with Akhil. In the face of her heartfelt request, the magistrate dismissed the complaint.
Akhil revealed that Alfia’s relatives were aware of her departure from home and her arrival in Kovalam on Friday. In fact, Alfia’s relatives themselves had journeyed to Kovalam on the same day. During the subsequent discussion at the Kovalam police station, Alfia reiterated her wish to stay with Akhil. Akhil raised objections to the complaint filed by Alfia’s relatives, alleging her disappearance, and condemned the use of force by the police. He has filed a complaint with the Kovalam police regarding the actions of the Kayamkulam police. Akhil and Alfia initially connected through social media platforms.
