Earlier last year, a similar incident took place in Jharkhand where the marriage was broken off in just 30 minutes of the wedding. This step was taken by the bride after the groom demanded a stylish bike and misbehaved with the girl's father. After the marriage was solemnised, the bride's parents asked the groom to return dowry but he refused. Subsequently, villagers caught him, tonsured his head and garlanded him with shoes.
