Chandigarh, June 16

A groom was tied to a tree after he allegedly demanded dowry from the girl’s family in Uttar Pradesh’s Pratapgarh.

It was just before the exchange of garlands that the groom allegedly asked for dowry.

A video which has gone viral shows Amarjeet being tied up to a tree and was allegedly held captive for a few hours by the bride’s side< reports News 18.

SHO Mandhata said, “Both sides are present in the police station, but no compromise has been reached yet. Friends of the bridegroom misbehaved, which led to an argument between the two sides. In the meantime, the bridegroom, Amarjeet, made demands for a dowry.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
