Heartbreak escalated to homicide in Buxar, Bihar, where a man obsessed with the bride executed a public execution during her wedding rites. The Chausa Mallah Toli gathering hosted a UP baraat, but festivities halted brutally on the jaimala dais.
DJ speakers echoed Dinbandhu Mallah’s chosen anthem – ‘Tujhko Hi Dulhan Banaunga, Warna Kunwara Mar Jaunga’ – moments before he, face veiled, mounted the stage. After filming the prelude, he unleashed a bullet into Aarti Kumari, the 18-year-old bride, who crumpled before horrified onlookers.
Chaos reigned: screams, scattering guests, a fleeing shooter. Eyewitness Nisha detailed the calculated assault, from song selection to trigger pull.
Unspoken tensions simmered; Dinbandhu’s persistent, one-way affection led to ignored ultimatums. Her fixed marriage ignited his rage.
Immediate aid shuttled Aarti to Buxar Sadar, then Varanasi for critical intervention – her condition remains dire.
Post-14-hour manhunt, Dinbandhu walked into Buxar court for surrender, now in police hands. Case registered, questioning reveals motives rooted in desperate possession.
Both wedding parties abandoned joy for lament, meals forsaken. This stark narrative of love’s dark descent demands reflection on preventing such volatile passions from erupting into irreversible tragedy.
