In a real-life drama straight out of a thriller, a woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba district has triggered chaos after falling in love with a man she met while playing the online game PUBG. Her love interest, a Ludhiana-based man named Shivam, reportedly travelled over 1,000 kilometres to meet her, only to be met with anger, confrontation, and police action.
Online Gaming Turns Into Offline Drama
The woman, identified as Aradhana from Banda district, married Sheelu of Mahoba in 2022 and has a one-and-a-half-year-old son. According to reports, Aradhana became addicted to PUBG months after marriage and developed a romantic relationship with Shivam during the online sessions.
Shivam claimed he had been speaking to Aradhana for over 14 months. “Recently, she told me that her husband had beaten her. I couldn’t ignore it and came to Mahoba to check on her,” he reportedly told police.

However, his unannounced visit to her in-laws’ house left her husband Sheelu and his family in shock. Tensions rose rapidly, and a scuffle broke out between the two men. Police were called in, and Shivam was taken into custody.
‘I Want Love, Not a Husband’
The incident didn’t end there. Aradhana followed them to the SDM Court at Sadar Tehsil and made a public scene. “I want to go with my lover,” she said, accusing her husband of being an alcoholic and abusive. In a shocking outburst, she reportedly told her husband, “If you come between us, I will cut you into 55 pieces and put you in a drum,” referencing a recent murder case in Meerut.
Eyewitnesses reported a heated argument between the woman, her husband, and Shivam, drawing a large crowd. Aradhana reiterated that she no longer wanted to stay with her husband and was determined to be with Shivam.
Police Book Lover for Public Disturbance
Police booked Shivam under Section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code for disturbing public peace and presented him before the magistrate. Officials said further investigations are underway.
This modern-day love triangle—fueled by online gaming, long-distance affection, and dramatic threats—has left Mahoba stunned and sparked debate over the consequences of virtual relationships turning real.
