High drama in Coimbatore as newly-wed couple cry out for help from car at busy traffic light

High drama prevailed at the Lakshmi Mills junction on the busy Avinashi Road in Coimbatore late on Wednesday, as a newly-wed couple cried out for help from a car, accusing the bride’s family members of abducting them at knife point.

The car, which was waiting at a traffic signal along with many other vehicles going towards Peelamedu side, was stopped by a few motorists who tried to help the couple.

The couple, Vigneshwaran and Sneha, of Maniyakaranpalayam near Saravanampatti, who are aged 19 and 22, claimed that they got married on Tuesday against the wishes of the girl's family.
