Singer Denies Kidnapping, Claims Voluntary Return to Husband

Singer Kinjal Rabari has publicly denied being kidnapped, claiming she voluntarily returned to her husband, Ashok Chaudhary, on Sunday. The situation unfolded after a man, Mukesh Desai, reported Rabari’s abduction outside a Chandkheda mall, alleging unidentified men took her in two cars. However, CCTV footage reviewed by police appeared to show Rabari willingly entering a vehicle. Rabari released a video statement to clarify that she is safe and had gone with Chaudhary, whom she identified as her husband. She stated they married on May 2, 2024, after she faced opposition from her family due to their inter-caste relationship. Rabari further alleged that her family had brought her back against her wishes earlier this year, compelled her to initiate divorce proceedings, and married her to another man against her consent. She expressed fears for her safety, leading to her return to Chaudhary. Police are now investigating the sequence of events and statements, considering the possibility of a planned departure rather than an abduction.
