 Two years later , on 5 April 2007 , Chanderpati last saw Manoj . " He ate his food and left to sleep at the shop since he had a class XII compartment exam in English to take the next day . Unlike other days , next morning , he did not show up . " The following day Babli 's uncle arrived to speak with Manoj . According to Chanderpati , " He said he had come to recover some money that Manoj had borrowed , had tea and left when I told him that Manoj was away for an exam . We only discovered late in the evening that Babli , too , was missing and the two had run away . " Manoj had eloped with Babli to Chandigarh and married her on 7 April at a Durga temple , their commitment to one another transcending their willingness to abide by the societal norms .
