Hamirpur: In an incident straight out of a Bollywood potboiler, a man was kidnapped at gunpoint from his wedding venue by a woman in Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh.
Banda resident Ashok Yadav was moments away from tying the nuptial knot with the woman his family had selected for him when an SUV stopped at the main entrance. What transpired next left everyone amazed on the night of May 15.
Ashok’s girlfriend along with three other armed men walked straight into the wedding hall. The woman took out a pistol, pointed it towards Ashok and asked him to sit in the SUV. She threatened the guests of dire consequences if anyone tried to stop her. Before anyone could understand what was happening the woman fled from the scene with Ashok.
It was learnt that Yadav, who works at a private clinic in Banda, was in love with a woman who also worked at the same place. Ashok had promised to marry the woman.
However, after a few months into their affair, Ashok started avoiding her as his family had fixed his marriage with another girl in the neighbouring town of Hamirpur.
Despite several attempts, the girl failed to meet Ashok as he tried to cut off all ties with her. The girl later got to know about Ashok’s marriage with another woman.
Furious over Ashok’s betrayal, the woman decided to take revenge.
