Indian weddings seem to have become popular in recent years for being generally late. But what will happen if some people begin staying ahead of schedule? Well, truly, anything can happen as in this case where a groom has been sued by his friends for Rs 50 lakh for defamation in Indian state of Uttarakhand. The groom, Ravi, seems to have allegedly ‘ditched’ his friends, by leaving with the baarat earlier than the scheduled time on his wedding day. The groom belongs to Bahadurabad village of Haridwar district. The friends, who got left behind, took it as an insult and filed a lawsuit, media reports said. These friends are now seeking Rs 50 lakh in damages.
