Bride elopes with boyfriend, groom marries her sister

Bride elopes with boyfriend, groom marries her sister

NAGPUR: It's stuff Bollywood flicks are made up of. A bride eloped with her boyfriend, leaving the groom waiting at the marriage mandap at Ramteke Nagar on Wednesday. The woman, 22, returned in the evening, married to the man she loved. The groom, disheartened at first, had another surprise waiting for him, as the bride's family did not send him back empty-handed. They convinced the bride's younger sister to marry the groom, and everyone went home happy at the end of the day.

The drama started when a family from Pandhrabodi rushed to Ambazari police station with a request to help them find their daughter Reema (name changed), whose marriage was scheduled at 11am. The groom Shekhar (name changed), a computer teacher from Walni, had already reached the marriage venue with a 'baraat' of around 300 people. The bride's nervous family told police that she had left home early morning and was not traceable, with her mobile phone also unreachable.

Reema's family members also revealed that she was close to one Ravi (name changed). Sources in the neighbourhood also told the cops that Reema often frequented Ravi's place and the couple had been in a steady relationship.

Cops from Ambazari police station immediately rushed to Ravi's place at Sudamnagari. But Ravi too was untraceable and his mobile phone was switched off. The cops immediately flashed the registration number of Ravi's bike on the wireless to trace him, assuming that Ravi and Reema had gone together.

Meanwhile, the groom Shekhar and his family were crestfallen on learning about the incident. They started levelling allegations of fraud and cheating against Reema's family, for having kept from them the fact of her affair with Ravi. They were also upset that Reema had participated in marriage rituals at Shekhar's place a day earlier without any apparent reluctance expected of someone thinking of running away.

After a daylong drama of trying to trace them, Reema and Ravi returned in the evening after marrying each other. The cops, who had been worried about the possibility of the lovebirds taking a drastic step like suicide, were relieved to see them married and happy. "Police cannot take action since two adults have taken a decision to marry each other," said an officer of Ambazari police station.

However, the drama was not yet over, as Shekhar and Reema's families decided to end the matter on a happier note. Reema's younger sister Rita (name changed) was asked to marry Shekhar, and she agreed. Decked up in bridal make-up, she took Reema's place at the wedding and got married to Shekhar.

Chembur man blamed wife, in-laws in suicide note on bedroom wall

Chembur man blamed wife, in-laws in suicide note on bedroom wall

Police, however, register accidental death as no one came forward to complain about in-laws.

The Chembur freelance photographer, who hanged himself at his residence on Monday, had allegedly written a 'suicide note' in pencil on the wall of his home, implying that his wife, her mother and aunt were responsible for his death.

Prakash Patni, 32, wrote on the wall of his room, "Because of my wife and her mother Jaishree Kundani and (aunt) Mohini Kundani it is over. These 3 persons are the reason".

Patni had also put up several posts on his Facebook profile, hinting of betrayal in love and that he was ending his life. He sent his wife who was at her maternal home an sms too, accusing her of wrongdoing.

The RCF police, however, registered only an accidental death as, according to them, no one came forward to register a complaint against his wife and her relatives.

"We registered an accidental death as no one filed any complaint," said Senior Inspector Dilip Yadav of the RCF Police Station. "Patni was financially unstable and used to gamble. He posted his status on his Facebook wall saying bye to his friends. We are also told that his wife had an affair which could be one of the reasons for his suicide, but we are investigating," Yadav added.

Patni's family have now said that they submitted an application to the RCF police on Wednesday, asking them to register a complaint against his wife Dimple, 28, her mother and her aunt.

A freelance photographer, Patni who married around 10 years ago, lived in a rented room in Chembur Camp with his wife and son Piyush, 7, for the past two years.

"We are not earning well, but my parents paid for his house rent and food bills each month," said Patni's brother Mohan, 34. "He had to only take care of his family's other expenses."

Mohan further said, "His fatherin-law has a garage in Chembur and his mother-in-law used to visit Patni's home everyday. We don't know how they harassed Patni, but it appears he was upset with his wife. Dimple was with her parents in Koparkhairane when he committed suicide. His mobile records show that at 2:30 am on Monday he messaged his wife saying 'Dear I am sorry. You have done wrong. Please don't do this to anyone'. The last sentence is mentioned on the wall of his room as well as his Facebook page."

Locals residents who did not want to be named said that Patni was very much into gambling and had problems in his personal life.

They also said that he used to pick fights with people.

Patni's body was discovered on Monday after his wife returned home around 1 pm. When he failed to open the door, she went around and lifted the window curtain and saw him hanging from the ceiling fan.

On Wednesday, when Mumbai Mirror contacted Dimple, she refused to comment.
