Kanpur: In a dramatic turn of events at Bulakipur village in Etawah's Basrehar area late Friday, a 23-year-old bride refused to marry an inebriated groom, leading to a physical altercation that left two people injured, police said.
Wedding Called Off Over Groom's Intoxication
The baraat of Himanshu, 28, from Gyaarampur, Jaswantnagar, had arrived Thursday night with much fanfare. However, around 2 am, just as the jaimaal ceremony was to begin, the bride learned that the groom was heavily intoxicated. She immediately decided to call off the wedding.
Family members and relatives tried to persuade her, but she remained steadfast in her decision. This angered the groom's party, leading to a commotion that escalated into a brawl.
Two Injured in the Scuffle
During the scuffle, Balbir Singh from the bride's side and Anuj from the groom's side sustained injuries. Local residents intervened to pacify the situation and admitted the injured to the Community Health Centre (CHC).
Station in-charge Saurabh Singh said police arrived after receiving information late at night. On Friday morning, both parties reached a compromise and submitted written statements stating they would not pursue legal action. The groom returned home without the bride.
