In a perplexing turn of events, a missing woman lawyer, Archana Tiwari, has been located at the Nepal border after disappearing from the Narmada Express on August 7. Tiwari, a 29-year-old aspiring civil judge, vanished on a journey meant to be a simple return to her hometown.

Her family reported her missing, and the Government Railway Police shifted its investigation from Katni to Bhopal after formalizing the case on August 9. Superintendent Rahul Lodha reported that the search concluded over ten days later with Tiwari's recovery at the Indo-Nepal border.

The dramatic escape unfolded over disagreements at home, where her family pressured her to abandon her legal aspirations for marriage. Coordinating with friends, she crisscrossed through Indian cities, ultimately reaching Kathmandu. Her case underscores the cultural tensions between professional ambitions and marital expectations.
