Two ex‑Naxal leaders were married in a ceremony held within Hazaribagh central jail in Jharkhand, according to reports.
Two former Naxal commanders were married inside Hazaribagh central jail in Jharkhand, officials said. The ceremony took place under the supervision of prison authorities and was recorded in the jail’s register.
Both men have been serving sentences for involvement in Naxalite‑related offences. Their convictions stem from armed insurgency activities that the state has been combating for years.
The marriage was performed by a senior jail officer who acted as the officiant. A small number of permitted witnesses, including a prison clerk and a family member, were present, and the couple received a standard marriage certificate.
Jail officials noted that the event complied with legal provisions allowing inmates to marry, and they emphasized that security protocols were strictly observed throughout the ceremony.
