The wedding came to a halt. Next, cops including some female ones from Mahila police station arrived at the spot and took the groom and the bride along with them.
“We married in 2009. We lived together for four years. To elicit sympathy, he would tell a fabricated story. He would say he has lost his parents. Later, he went to Odisha. Whenever I would ask him to take me there, he would keep avoiding me, saying he would send money to me,” said the complainant.
“Such cases are becoming common. Why women with their babies are being ditched like this? I hope I will get justice,” she added.
