In a bizarre and viral turn of events, a broken engagement in Karauli district, Rajasthan, escalated into a public spectacle where a groom‘s brother had his moustache shaved off. The shocking incident has garnered significant attention, with the video circulating widely on social media.
The Breaking Point of a Broken Engagement
The incident unfolded when the groom’s family decided to call off the engagement, citing issues raised by the groom’s sister regarding the bride-to-be. As tensions rose, the bride’s family reacted in anger, allegedly holding the groom’s brother in public and forcibly cutting off his moustache. Onlookers gathered around as the event unfolded, with some recording the incident and later sharing the video online.
The Groom’s Family Responds
In an emotional video response, the groom explained his family’s side of the story, stating that the engagement was called off after his family discovered a discrepancy. According to him, the woman shown to his family in the engagement photograph was different from the one he was expected to marry. His family, he said, needed more time to confirm the engagement, and he claims they faced unwarranted pressure and humiliation after the bride’s family retaliated.
