A heart breaking dowry case has come to light from Sambhal, where a wedding was called off after the groom didn’t arrive with the baraat.
The groom, Muhammad Mustafa, a resident of Moradabad, had been demanding dowry even before the wedding. The bride’s father had already arranged around ₹7.5 lakh earlier, but just before the ceremony, the groom’s side raised a fresh demand of ₹10 lakh in cash along with a Scorpio car. When these last-minute demands were not fulfilled, the groom did not turn up, leaving the bride waiting at the venue.
The bride’s family stated that they were under continuous pressure for dowry and were unable to meet the sudden increased demand on the wedding day. Following the incident, they filed a complaint with the police, after which an investigation was initiated.
