The inter-faith couple, whose marriage was stopped allegedly by Bajrang Dal activists, have demanded that the police take stern action against those who intervened in their marriage.
Chaitra and Jaffar, who appeared before the media in Chikkamagaluru on Friday, said that they have been in love for the last three years and decided to get married as their families had agreed.
On September 14, Chaitra and Jaffar of Lakshmipura went to the sub-registrar in Chikkamagaluru. A group of Bajrang Dal activists stopped their marriage and took the boy out of the office. The accused allegedly assaulted Jaffar and termed the marriage as ‘love jihad’.
