An Indian woman has been reunited with her husband, who had been missing for three years, after she spotted him on the TikTok app.

Police said that the man had fled in 2016 and since then had been in a relationship with a transgender woman.

A relative of the wife had first spotted him in a video with the transgender woman, which set off a police search.

Police said they had "counselled" the couple, who are now back together.

TikTok, an app which allows users to create and share videos, has taken India by storm.

It has more than 120 million users in the country, but has also faced criticism from some for hosting inappropriate content.
