Avnish Kumar, posted as an assistant teacher at a government school in Katihar district, was allegedly kidnapped by two SUV-borne people when he was on his way to school by an e-rickshaw. The SUV stopped near a temple, where the girl Gunjan Kumari's relatives of the girl were present at the temple where Avnish was forced to perform rituals under threat.

Later, the couple left for Avnish's native village in Begusarai district. But the groom escaped before his native town, Rajaura Sikandarpur, under Mufassil police station in Begusarai district.
