The young man, dressed as a groom, sat on a horse and set out with the wedding procession, but the bride ended contact with him at the last moment. The young man, hailing from a village in the Badgaon area, met a young woman on Instagram, and they began to chat. It transformed into conversations over the phone, and gradually, their friendship blossomed into love, and they grew closer. Then, they decided to get married. When the young man told his family, they agreed and began preparing for his son's wedding.

Festive atmosphere ensues, but...

The young man's family began preparations with great enthusiasm. They even invited their relatives to the wedding. A celebratory atmosphere reigned in the house, and the wedding was set to take place on December 2. The girl's family allegedly 'promised' to give the man a car as dowry. As a result, a few days ago, he went to a showroom in Saharanpur with his friends and liked the Brezza car.

The family organized the young man's wedding procession with a band and music and reached Deoband railway station. The groom then called his bride-to-be, but she disconnected the call. The phone switched off after a while. Hours passed in constant attempts and waiting, but there was no response from the girl. The groom was forced to return with the wedding procession without the bride.
