According to the details, both the families searched for the two till Thursday. They approached the police on Friday evening following which a first information report (FIR) was lodged and a probe was initiated.
Sources said that the woman and the boy were in a relationship for the past year but no one suspected them because of their age gap.

Circle Officer Campierganj, Rahul Bhati, "A case has been registered against the woman on the complaint of the boy's family. We are trying to trace them."
The woman is a mother of three little children. Her husband told the police that her behaviour towards him had changed for some time, but he could not even imagine that such a thing would happen.
