The clip has received over 1,300 views since it was uploaded yesterday. According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, minutes after the incident, family members intervened to control the situation. Matters worsened quickly and few people from the groom’s side were also beaten up, as per ABP Live. Following this, local police officials were called to help resolve the matter. Meanwhile, a Navbharat Times report informed that a panchayat was conducted on Monday (18 April) between both the parties in the presence of police officials. While giving an explanation of the bride’s actions, the girl’s uncle claimed that the whole family was shocked by her behaviour, adding that the bride “was haunted by ghosts”. Explaining more on the same, the bride’s relatives claimed that before the varmala ceremony, they had removed her amulet, which led to the unfortunate incident. The bride has since then apologised to the groom and his family for her behaviour. What are your thoughts about this story?
