Rajasthan Life-Term Convicts Marry in Secret While on 15-Day Parole

A High Court directive triggered the parole; victims’ counsel plan a court challenge.

Overview

  • Priya Seth and Hanuman Prasad, both serving life for separate murders, wed during temporary release granted to solemnise their marriage.
  • Agency reports say the ceremony was held discreetly in Alwar with limited attendees after plans were shifted to avoid attention.
  • The pair met after transfers to Jaipur’s Sanganer open jail, where their relationship developed during months of reported cohabitation.
  • Officials say the District Parole Advisory Committee acted under Rajasthan Prisoners Open Air Camp Rules, 1972, following a January 7 High Court timeline.
  • Lawyers for a victim’s family say they were not notified and will seek High Court review, and both convicts are due to return to custody when parole ends.
