In a shocking twist that has stunned a village in Mathura’s Govardhan area, Uttar Pradesh, a groom vanished into thin air just moments before taking the sacred seven pheras during a double wedding ceremony. The bizarre incident unfolded late Wednesday night when a baraat from Rajasthan’s Kaman arrived to marry two brothers to two sisters from the local family.
Everything seemed picture-perfect at first. The baraat was welcomed with traditional fervor, garlands were exchanged amid cheers and laughter, and photographs were clicked as the families mingled in celebration. The younger brother’s wedding proceeded smoothly, but as the clock ticked towards the climax for the elder pair, disaster struck.
The elder groom, citing a need to relieve himself, slipped away into the darkness, exploiting the chaos of the crowded venue. Minutes turned into anxious hours as searches yielded nothing. The bride, her hands still adorned with fresh mehendi, watched her dreams shatter as joy morphed into collective despair.
The bride’s father, who had poured his life’s savings into the lavish arrangements, was left devastated. He promptly filed a police complaint, accusing the groom of deceit. Govardhan police swiftly arrived at the scene, launching a manhunt and investigation to unravel whether this was a premeditated fraud or a case of cold feet.
Local residents are abuzz with speculation. Was the groom hiding a secret marriage, financial troubles, or simply overwhelmed by commitment? As the family grapples with humiliation and loss, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks in arranged marriages, where trust is extended blindly. Police are now tracing the fugitive’s whereabouts, promising swift action to deliver justice to the heartbroken family.
