On Saturday (13th July), the security personnel at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai apprehended a man named Luqman Mohammad Shafi Shaikh while trying to gatecrash the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
A businessman by occupation, Shaikh was caught during a routine check at about 2:40 am on the first floor of the wedding venue. He had illegally entered the premises through the Gate No 10.
On being interrogated by the security personnel, the accused failed to prove that he had an invitation. Thereafter, he was handed over to the security manager.
Despite being asked to leave the premises, Luqman Shaikh refused to comply with the orders. Thereafter, he was handed over to the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police.
While speaking about the matter to The Indian Express, an officer informed, “A security guard found that he was suspiciously roaming, following which they checked whether he had an invitation. But as he did not have one, he was handed over to the security manager. He revealed that he is from Palghar and had illegally entered from gate number 10.”
He was thereafter booked by the cops for gatecrashing the wedding. Shaikh later admitted that he entered the premises of the Jio World Convention Centre out of curiosity.
A day earlier, a YouTuber from Andhra Pradesh named Venkatesh Narsaiah Aluri (26) illegally entered the wedding venue. He was caught roaming around Pavilion 1 of the Jio World Convention Centre at 10:40 am on Friday (12th July).
Aluri gained illegal entry from Gate No. 19 after having failed to do so from Gate No. 23. He was asked to leave but the YoutUber refused to comply. He resorted to harassing the security personnel instead. Thereafter, he was booked by the BKC police and taken to the police station.
