Lucknow, October 22: A groom's head was tonsured in Lucknow after he refused to marry the bride, demanding dowry which included a motorcycle and gold ornaments. The incident took place in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow. The bride's grandmother alleged that all these demands were made just five days before the wedding.

"They made these demands 5 days before the wedding. He refused to marry after we said we can't fulfil them. Don't know who tonsured his head," the bride's grandmother was quoted as saying by ANI. According to the reports, after seeing the increasing demands made by the groom, the crowd shrugged his head.

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.
