Drunk groom forgets his wedding in India, bride takes his family hostage

Gulf Today Report

A groom from the village of Sultan Gang in the city of Bhagalpur, in the Indian state of Bihar, forgot to attend his wedding after he got drunk and did not regain consciousness until a day later.

The bride said, "You spoiled the fun of the best moment in my life. My family and I waited for you to complete our wedding ceremony, but you did not come. I cannot spend my life with a man who does not pay attention to his responsibilities."

The bride's family demanded that the groom return the money they spent on the wedding arrangements, and the matter did not stop at this point, but escalated to the bride's family holding some of the groom's relatives hostage until the demands were implemented, which necessitated the intervention of the police to settle the dispute between the two families.

On the other hand, a gang of five to six armed robbers looted a bike and other valuables of a sub-inspector in Naugachia in Bihar's Bhagalpur district.

The incident happened late on Thursday night.

The victim, sub-inspector Umashankar Singh, is deployed at the Naugachia police station. He had gone to the Bihpur police station for some official work.

While returning at around 9 p.m., his motorbike was overtaken by the highway robbers at Kharik village, who looted him of his bike, cash and two mobile phones at gunpoint.

The robbers had put the gun on his head and threatened dire consequences if he shouted or revealed the incidents to anyone.

Sushant Kumar Saroj, the SP of Navgachiya said: "An incident of loot with a sub-inspector rank officer happened in the district. We are making efforts to identify the accused. Raids are on to nab them.
