On Thursday evening, the MIDC Police station registered the FIR against Priyanka's father, mother and uncle. Two teams have been deployed by the police to hunt down the trio, as they have gone missing.
Also, Priyanka and her boyfriend Viraj Awghade, also 19, a business administration student, are yet to get police security as ordered by the Bombay High Court. Priyanka, a law student, had rushed to the Bombay High Court seeking protection from the police and action against her parents and uncle as the trio had been threatening her into cutting ties with Viraj. On Tuesday, May 7, the court had ordered the Maharashtra State Police to file a case against her parents and provide security cover to both Priyanka and Viraj.
