#VALUE!
Deepak Kumar, a 24-year-old from the village of Mandiali in Punjab, India, became the talk of the day on social media in his country after his wedding turned into a particularly embarrassing event. He and his family, along with 150 guests, arrived in the city of Moga to celebrate his marriage to Manpreet Kaur - a woman he had corresponded with for over three years but never met face to face.
The wedding, originally planned for December 2, was postponed to December 6 at the bride's request, claiming her father was ill. However, on the day of the event itself, when the guests arrived at the designated location, they discovered there was no sign of the bride or her family. Attempts to contact Manpreet failed, and it was later revealed that her phone was switched off.
Deepak, who suffered a severe humiliation, revealed that he had transferred about 50,000 rupees (approximately 2,100 shekels) to Manpreet for wedding preparations. But when he and his family tried to locate the promised venue, they found it to be a non-existent place.
The family approached the local police, and Inspector Rajinder Singh confirmed that the investigation is ongoing. "We are checking the details and the conversations between the two," he noted, adding that Manpreet's phone number is the only lead.
The event went viral on social media, with many users criticizing Deepak's naivety. One of them wrote, "In the digital age, how can you believe so easily in a person you've never met?"
Whether it was a planned scheme or an emotional fraud, it is clear that Deepak and his family experienced an event that will not be forgotten in the near future.
