In a scene out of a Bollywood potboiler, a groom in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut turned a hero after he chased down a thief who stole his money garland and ran away. According to reports, the incident occurred on the NH 58 highway. Dressed in a grey suit and red turban, the groom caught a ride on a passerby’s bike to chase down a mini-truck. After riding alongside it, he jumped off the bike and tried to climb into the moving truck. The footage captures the groom entering through the window and stopping the vehicle. Soon after, the groom, along with two others from the wedding party, dragged the driver out of the truck and thrashed him.

The video was shared by a journalist on X.

शादी की रस्में छोड़कर दुल्हा चोर के पीछे भागा. चोर ने लोडर स्टार्ट किया और निकलने लगा. दौड़ते लोडर में खिड़की से दूल्हे ने एंट्री मारी तो चोर लोडर छोड़ भागने लगा

With over 65,000 views, the video amassed a sea of hilarious reactions. “Dulhan (bride) should be proud of him,” a user wrote. “If he had stolen, you should have taken him to the police. Who gave you the right to kill? To what extent have humans fallen? You are venting all your anger and frustration on that tempo driver,” another user commented.

Tagging Uttar Pradesh Police, a third user wrote, “Please investigate where this person got such commando training, this is not a task a common man can do.”

According to a report by India Today, the truck driver, Manish Sehgal, stated that the groom accused his truck of brushing against him on the road, triggering a dramatic chase. Sehgal further claimed that the groom and his party attacked him, despite the driver having no involvement with the stolen money garland.
