Disputes and a secret second marriage
Manoj Pandit, a resident of Bhagalpur, had initially married Sekha Devi in a love marriage. However, the couple faced ongoing disputes, and after unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation, they took the matter to court. The case remains unresolved as of now. Despite the legal proceedings, Manoj’s family seemed determined to move forward, with his father, Basuki Pandit, and other relatives arranging a second marriage for him.
What they failed to anticipate was the reaction of Sekha Devi, who discovered the plans for her husband's second wedding. With her mother in tow, Sekha confronted the bride-to-be’s family at their home. Manoj’s family had deliberately hidden the fact that he was already married from the second bride’s family, a deception that would soon unravel in dramatic fashion.
The confrontation and its aftermath
The second wedding was planned for December 10, with the bride’s family having made extensive preparations to welcome the groom’s procession. Pre-wedding rituals, including the Haldi and Mehndi ceremonies, were already in full swing when Sekha Devi arrived with her mother. The confrontation was intense, as Sekha exposed the truth about Manoj’s existing marriage.
