In a bizarre incident which seems like a scene of a Bollywood movie, a bride from Madhya Pradesh eloped with the priest who performed her wedding rituals. This shocking incident took place on May 7, in Tori Bagrod, Sironj city of Madhya Pradesh where Vinod Maharaj, a regular priest at a temple located at Asath village performed the wedding rituals of the woman to another man.

According to India Times, three days after the wedding, the woman came back to her parent’s house. Another wedding in the same locality was about to take place on May 23, for which the priest, Vinod Maharaj was asked to perform the rituals again but he was missing. The villagers set a manhunt to look for him and to their shock, they realised he had run away with the girl. It was also revealed that the woman ran away with jewellery worth Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 30,000 cash. The news left the groom and his family in shock and dismay.
