Thane showroom horror: Fiancée dislikes her lehenga, groom shreds it with knife; chaos caught on CCTV

KALYAN: You can never predict the extent to which an angry, young man can go for his beloved's sake. In one such case, a man who was upset over a store not refunding money for a lehenga (bridal attire) worth Rs 32,300 for the wedding that his fiancée had bought, but wanted to return, walked into the shop with a knife, and ripped apart the lehenga, shredding it to rags.

The man allegedly threatened staff at the showroom. The incident was captured on CCTV cameras at the store.

The bride-to-be, Meghna Makhija, had bought the lehenga on June 17. The same evening, she called up to say she did not like it and wanted to return it.

She was told that instead of a refund, she would get a credit note against which she could purchase something else from the shop within two months.

A month later, the woman revisited the store on Saturday.

A salesman told her that they were holding a stock clearance sale currently, and asked her to return next month.

A while later, her betrothed, Sumit Sayani, barged into the showroom, and demanded a refund. As the shopkeeper refused, he brandished a knife and ripped the lehenga apart, says a complaint lodged by the manger of of Nakshatra showroom.

Other customers present at the store were petrified, says the complaint, adding that the man had demanded Rs 3 lakh and threatened to give a bad review on Google about the service of the store.

The angry young man was arrested, but was granted immediate bail. The man has confessed to having committed the act in a fit of rage, said senior inspector of Bazarpeth police station, Surajsingh Gaund, where the complaint has been lodged.
