Bride Flees Hours After Wedding With ₹2 Lakh, Mentally Challenged Groom Left Helpless | Gwalior

A mentally challenged man was left helpless after his bride allegedly fled with her associates and ₹2 lakh just hours after their marriage in Gwalior on Friday. Police have registered a case of cheating and fraud following a complaint by the groom’s father.

According to police, the victim’s family resides on Shivpuri Road in Gwalior. The groom’s father, Mahendra Parashar, told police that his son Ashmit Parashar is mentally challenged. In an effort to secure his future, he agreed to arrange his marriage through a man identified as Bunty Dhakad, a resident of Morena district.

Mahendra alleged that Bunty Dhakad introduced a woman named Poonam Gaur as a suitable match. The marriage was arranged through a notarised process. In return for arranging the alliance, Bunty Dhakad allegedly took ₹2 lakh from the groom’s family. Trusting him, the family paid the amount and completed the marriage formalities.

However, within hours of the wedding, the situation took a dramatic turn. Mahendra Parashar alleged that Bunty Dhakad and his associates intercepted their car on the road. During this time, the bride, Poonam Gaur, allegedly left the groom and boarded an Activa with Bunty Dhakad and his associates, identified as Rakesh Sharma and Hira Thakur, before fleeing from the spot.
The groom and his family were left stranded and shocked by the incident.

During the investigation, police found that Poonam Gaur is a resident of the Hazira police station area near Choude Hanuman in Gwalior. Her brother, Hemant, informed police that Poonam had left home nearly two years ago and had been living separately since then. He also stated that the family had no contact with her during this period.

Following the incident, Mahendra Parashar lodged a formal complaint. Late Thursday night, police registered a case against Poonam Gaur, Bunty Dhakad and their associates under sections related to cheating and fraud.

Police officials added that the groom’s family had met the accused only a day before the marriage. Efforts are underway to trace the accused, and further investigation is in progress.
