No sweet in pre-wedding dinner menu turns things bitter between both sides in Somwarpet
police file case
Somwarpet: The Somwarpet Police have filed a case against a youth who fought with the bride's family over the lack of a sweet dish during the pre-wedding dinner in town recently.
The officers have said that they filed the case on Tuesday against five people, including the groom Harshith, his mother, brother, sister-in-law and maternal uncle, based on a complaint filed by the bride's family. They have added that the five people are accused of dowry harassment, cheating and also insulting the bride's family. Investigation of the matter is on, the Somwarpet cops said.
The wedding of the girl from Somwarpet taluk and the boy from Tumakuru district was to be held at a hall in town on Sunday, May 5.
Harshith's family, which arrived from Tumakuru on Saturday evening, allegedly raised ruckus over the fact as the hosts had failed to include a sweet dish in the menu for Saturday dinner. A verbal duel over the matter between the parties reportedly intensified into a physical fight at the wedding hall, after which both of them approached the police on Sunday morning.
Flustered by the incident, the bride reportedly told the Somwarpet Police that she no longer wished to marry Harshith.
