Muzzaffarnagar: A community panchayat has decided to socially boycott families of a couple who had eloped recently in neighbouring Shamli district, police said today.

The panchayat had decided to ostracise the two families, Circle officer Nishank Sharma said. He said that they are keeping an eye on the development.
