Wedsite: Accused ties knot in cell

The police is tasked with security of general public for which it goes to any length to ensure that the law and order situation does not get hampered. But on Tuesday, an interesting incident occurred wherein the police officials were tasked with getting a marriage ceremony organised of an accused currently behind the bars. 

To allow him tie the nuptial knot, the accused received one day’s bail from the court and the entire marriage ceremony was conducted under the watchful eyes of the khakhi-clad men.

Recently, the Jaipur police had busted a cheating racket in postmaster examination in which nearly a hundred youths were arrested. “One of the accused— Mukesh Lakhera — was about to get married on February 19, but was arrested by the Shyam Nagar police in the cheating case. He had applied for bail which got rejected and the court sent him to judicial custody till March 5,” the police officials said.

But the accused again appealed in court seeking an interim bail. “He sought an interim bail for five days from February 20-24 and cited that in Hindu tradition once a marriage is finalised it is not postponed and if the marriage is not solemnised it would defame the families of the groom and the bride,” the officials said.

The court has granted him one day’s bail. “His marriage was scheduled for Tuesday for which Jail officials took him to the marriage place and brought him back before the stipulated time ended,” said the police.
