The bride and groom had solemnized their marriage four years ago, creating a history of prior commitment between them. Yet, on the day of the wedding, the groom mysteriously failed to arrive. The news of this incident quickly went viral on social media, eliciting a strong emotional response from the public, who expressed their anger and disappointment.
In response to the public outrage and to avoid any potential backlash, the groom’s family contacted the police to reveal that Fiaz Ahmad Dar had gone to the university, which had caused the delay. However, skepticism remained among the bride’s family, prompting them to report the matter to the police.
In the wake of the complaint, the police acted swiftly, registering a case under FIR/2023 182 (A) IPC and apprehending both the groom and his father. It was revealed that the marriage had been formalized 49 months prior to the scheduled wedding date.
Notably, this incident follows a similar occurrence involving another brother of the groom, who had undertaken a similar action by not attending the wedding ceremony. The reason for these mysterious actions by the groom and his family remains the subject of investigation.
