The accused convinced the family members of the victim to the wedding and assured them about the situation. He had reportedly arrived in a decorated car by himself. The wedding rituals then began. During the wedding, the accused gifted jewelry and clothes to the woman claiming that they were made up of gold. The girl’s relatives started suspecting that something was off, after realisng that the ‘gold’ jewelry was fake.
As confrontation ensued between the groom and the girl’s family members, the grooms wig fell off, exposing the fact that even his appearance was fake.
The family members then interrogated him thoroughly and saw his Aadhaar Card to learn that he was a Muslim and that his name was Tabrez. The police were then informed and an FIR in the case was registered. The police who immediately arrived at the spot arrested the accused and confirmed that the accused had weaved a well-planned trap to marry the Hindu girl.
Further investigations into the case are underway.
