Kerala High Court has directed police to provide protection to a young girl who shot to fame during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela and whose husband is facing kidnapping charges.
The High Court's order came after the girl's plea seeking directions to the state government and the SHO of the Ernakulam Central police station to safeguard her life.
The court issued notice to the state government and the SHO and listed the matter on July 10.
The girl's husband, Mohd Farman, is accused of kidnapping her in a case registered by Madhya Pradesh police based on a complaint filed by her father, who claims she is a minor.
The girl had shot to fame after a virtual content creator shared a video of her selling rudraksh garlands at Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh last year.
