Gwalior, October 16: In a startling incident from Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior, a 17-year-old girl allegedly drugged her family and eloped with her boyfriend, taking along ancestral jewellery and Rs 1 lakh in cash. The incident took place on Sunday in the Narayan Vihar area, just days after the minor’s engagement to another man.

According to a report in Jagran, the girl meticulously planned her escape on Saturday night. She prepared aloo parathas for her mother and sister, lacing the potato filling with sleeping pills. Unaware of her intentions, the family consumed the meal and soon fell into a deep sleep. Muzaffarpur Shocker: Woman Kills Boyfriend After He Leaks Her Explicit Video in Bihar, 1 Arrested.
