Wedding arrangements
What is the case about?
According to the complaint, Bajrangi had told his neighbor's relative, Bunty, that he was looking for a suitable match. Bunty then introduced him to a woman named Rani. After several meetings in Aligarh with prospective brides, Bunty sent Bajrangi a photo of a young woman he liked and arranged for her family to visit Bajrangi's home on September 5, 2025.
Payment issues
When he reached Aligarh with wedding procession
The wedding was scheduled for February 7, and Bajrangi transferred ₹30,000 to Bunty on February 6 for bridal clothes. However, when he reached Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, with his wedding procession, Bunty and Rani were missing, and their phones were switched off. "When I called the bride...she stated that she knew nothing about the wedding and I had to return empty-handed," Bajrangi said in his complaint.
Legal action
Neighbour said preparations were on at Bajrangi's house
A senior police officer confirmed that Bajrangi was to pay ₹1.20 lakh for the wedding arrangements as per the agreement with the accused. An FIR has been registered against Bunty, Rani, and others under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The investigation is currently underway. A neighbor of Bajrangi said preparations were on at his house to welcome the new bride, but everything fell apart in the end.
