Deepak, a 24-year-old laborer from Dubai who returned to Punjab a month ago, wore a bright red turban as he traveled from his village, Mandiali, in Jalandhar district, to Moga town on Friday. He was in a car decorated with flowers, ready to take his future wife home.
Deepak, joined by a baraat of over 150 guests in several vehicles, was all set to marry Manpreet Kaur from Moga, a woman he met on Instagram. The couple had been in a relationship for almost three years.
After three years of connecting on Instagram, the couple decided to get married. They arranged for their parents to speak on the phone to finalize wedding plans.
Deepak, whose wedding was scheduled for December 6, arrived in Moga on Friday, taking with him a baraat of over 150 guests, as Manpreet and her family had requested. However, upon reaching Moga, he discovered that the bride, Manpreet, was missing and the venue was no longer available, as reported by the Indian Express.
The groom arrived in Moga around noon and made several attempts to contact Manpreet. At first, she replied to him and told him that her relatives would come and guide the baraat to the venue. However, by 5 p.m. no one had shown up and she had turned off her phone.
After waiting for over five hours, Deepak and his family went to the local police station to lodge a complaint against Manpreet Kaur and her family, the report said.
In his complaint, Deepak said he lived in Dubai and met Manpreet on Instagram three years ago. They started chatting, developed a long-distance relationship, and eventually decided to get married. After their parents spoke on the phone, they set the wedding date for December 6.
The heartbroken groom also told police that Manpreet had pretended to be a lawyer with a well-paid job in Ferozepur.
Deepak revealed that he had never met Manpreet in person but had seen his photos on Instagram. He said she told him the wedding venue was the 'Rose Garden Palace', but when they arrived in Moga, they were informed that no such venue existed.
The groom also mentioned that he sent Rs 50,000 to Manpreet when she asked for help with the wedding expenses.
