Now,runaway couple on the run from police for fake weddding

On June 15,2011,during vacations,in-charge Sessions Judge P P Singh had ordered that police protection be given to the couple in Amritsar and Uttrakhand.

Runway couple Sumit Sharma and Shivani Arora,who had approached the court of Amritsar District and Sessions Judge for police protection,are now running for cover — not from their families but from the police after a case of forgery was registered against them for producing fake documents in court to secure police protection.

Besides Sumit — a resident of Sector 11 in Panchkula — and Shivani,a resident of Rudrapur in Uttrakhand,the police have also booked five members of Sumit’s family,including his parents and a maternal brother for connivance in the case.

The case was registered on the directions of Amritsar Session Judge Harminder Singh Madaan. On June 15,2011,during vacations,in-charge Sessions Judge P P Singh had ordered that police protection be given to the couple in Amritsar and Uttrakhand. The couple had alleged in their petition Shivani’s parents and two other families could harm them.

In July,Shivani’s father,a lawyer by profession,moved an application in the court stating that the couple had submitted fake documents in court and prayed that the June 15 order be set aside. Following a probe into the matter,the marriage certificate and the employment letter provided by the couple turned out to be fake.

The couple had produced a marriage certificate purportedly issued by head priest of Durga Mata Mandir on Majitha Road. The head priest,during investigation,denied having performed their wedding ceremony. A certificate issued by a telecom company also proved to be fictitious.

The court has now ordered to revoke the protection order. “A case has been registered against Sumit and Shivani,besides Sumit’s family,” said Amritsar Commissioner of Police R P Mittal.
