A man in Maharashtra’s Kalyan ripped off a lehenga his fiancée had bought with a knife at a clothing showroom, and threatened the shopkeeper over the weekend.

According to a Times of India (TOI) report, his fiancée bought the lehenga from the store, but she was unhappy with the outfit, so she asked the man to return it and request a refund. Things turned ugly when the store refused to issue any refund, and offered an exchange instead.

The accused, identified as Sumit Sayani, slashed the lehenga in front of the shop’s staff and threatened them on July 19. “You’ll be ripped apart like this, too. Give me my money back,” Sayani was quoted as saying by TOI.

“This shadi etc has become a booming business due to the Need to follow trends and show off. People don’t even realise that. Why do you need a lehanga that you will wear only a few times lady, to start with. Save for your future holidays rather than get into this trap,” a user commented.

“The would-be bride should RUN away from this man, as far as she can without looking BACK..!!” Another wrote.

“Red flag.. wonder what would happen after marriage,” a third user reacted. “No matter what the situation, this much anger is not justified under any circumstances,” a fourth user chimed in.
