What the woman claims

According to her police statement, the 26-year-old woman claims she had been dating the groom since 2021. In March 2024, the couple formalised their engagement in front of both families.

“She alleged that her boyfriend (27), who is employed in a private company in Delhi, married another woman without her knowledge. She also alleged that he took money from her and did not return the engagement ring. We have registered a case against the man. We are verifying the charges,” Puna Chandra Pradhan, inspector-in-charge of Lingaraj police station, was quoted as saying by Times of India.

The groom’s version of events

However, the groom’ family dismissed the claim calling it fake news and that the engagement had been broken off by then, adding the ex-girlfriend was causing a hassle to inflict embarrassment upon them.

“We already broke the engagement. The girl and her family were aware of it. She deliberately created nuisance and humiliated us in front of our guests,” said the groom’s father.

Kalinga TV said that the incident resulted in a scuffle at the reception where the woman was beaten up. Later both families reached Dhauli police station from where they were directed to the Lingaraj police.
