Couple to be taken to temple where they got ‘married’

Mumbai: The Powai police will be taking the Jet Airways pilot Varun Agrawal (27) and air-hostess Shobha Pathak (name changed) to the temple in Andheri (East), where they allegedly married, as claimed by the Pathak.
Pathak, on Friday alleged to the Powai police that Agrawal had raped her on several occasions for a period of over two years.
She also alleged that they got married in an Andheri temple, though the police have not as yet found their union to be legal. “We will be taking them to the temple as part of our investigation,” said Senior Police Inspector Ashok Jadhav of the Powai police station.
Agrawal, who is in police custody, has denied marrying Pathak. An officer from the Powai police station said, at times Agrawal has denied of even knowing Pathak.
The police official involved with the investigation of the case said the couple will be taken to meet the temple priest to ascertain whether the rituals had taken place or not.
Police sources said it will be difficult to establish that a marriage, albeit an invalid one had taken place between them at the temple, as the complainant has no proof of it and she does not even remember the date of marriage.
