Bride abduction is one of the most common and gruesome crimes in Bihar. Several cases of the bride being abducted from her wedding by a goon who wishes to tie the knot with her often come to light. But the tables turned at a wedding in Bihar’s Samastipur, reports Times Now.
Surendra Mahto’s son Suraj Kumar from the village in Samastipur arrived at the venue to marry Om Prakash’s daughter in Rasalpur village. But the relatives of the bride found him drunk so they reached out to his dad who was himself exceptionally inebriated! This infuriated the entire bride’s clan and they decided to call off the wedding. But that was not the end of things.
The bride’s relatives took all the wedding guests hostage and released them only when the groom’s family agreed to pay them Rs 50,000. The drunk groom and his father were also taken hostage by the bride’s family. They released them only after the groom’s family paid a ransom of 3.5 lakh to them.
The groom’s sister claimed that she had reported the matter to the police but no immediate action was taken by them. Later on, the police reached the spot and carried out their investigation.
Many such cases, where the bride called off the wedding over dowry demands or drunk grooms have hit groom have hit headlines off late. A bride called off the wedding earlier this year in Dumri Chapiya village in Bihar as the groom came arrived extremely drunk to the wedding venue.
Was it a lesson taught right or just unnecessary hooliganism by the bride’s family? What are your thoughts?
