Groom Sombir Singh from Bhiwani's Dang Kalan village said he tied the knot with Mamta of Rohtak's Mokhra village on Monday. Talking about the incident, the groom said, "The incident took place when I along with Mamta, her brother and five others were returning to my home from her native village. A young man signalled us to stop near Kalanaur in Rohtak. When we stopped the car, suddenly five to six men arrived there, snatched our car at gunpoint and fled with my wife.
