Groom takes baraat to court in Muzaffarnagar district

In an unusual incident, a man fully dressed as a groom reached the Sub-Divisional magistrate court with "a baraat" to protest against his separation from his under aged beloved, whom he claimed to have married.

Twenty-year-old Deepak had allegedly eloped with a minor girl, and had purportedly married her a month ago in Jansath in Muzaffarnagar district, the police said adding, the couple had appeared before a local court seeking protection in wake of the opposition from their families.

On finding the girl to be a minor, the magistrate sent her to a nari niketan and sent the boy to jail, they said. The girl was later hander over to her parents and the boy was released on bail.

On Monday, Deepak reached the court with the marriage procession, as the girl was scheduled to appear before the court, police said adding a case has been registered against him for creating public nuisance.
