As per reports, the unidentified groom was riding a horse to his wedding venue, as part of a ritual, when a mini truck driver allegedly snatched away one of the notes from the garland. This led to a dramatic chase.

The groom dramatically stepped down from the horse to personally chase the driver. Upset and furious over being robbed on his special day, he decided to catch hold of the alleged culprit. Visuals showed the groom rushing into the mini truck.

The video captures the garland-clad groom sliding inside the running mini truck through the window and entering the steering compartment. While it wasn’t clear what he did, the vehicles stopped after a few seconds. After the driver was forced out of the mini truck, several men, including the groom, landed punches on him.

To prevent the driver from fleeing, a biker blocks the route by dragging his two-wheeler in front of the mini truck.

However, the truck’s owner said that the driver, Jagpal, was unaware of the commotion behind him, as per a report by India Today. “He claimed the groom accused the truck of brushing against him on the road, which led to the dramatic chase. Sehgal further alleged that the groom and his party assaulted the driver despite him having no connection to the stolen note,” the report read.

“We have reported the incident to the police and plan to take legal action against the attackers,” said Manish Sehgal, the transport’s owner.
