The Uttarakhand High Court has directed the Haridwar senior superintendent of police to produce a woman before it on May 18 in response to a habeas corpus petition filed by her husband, Vaibhav Gupta. He alleges that his wife is being illegally confined by her parents in Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. While police confirmed via video call that the woman is safe, the husband's counsel contends she is under parental pressure and seeks her independent statement. The court has ordered coordination between police in Haridwar and Ambedkar Nagar for her production.
