Thanjavur: Recently a roller coaster case of love, denial and crime caught, a man who had agreed to the love marriage of his daughter, had a change of heart and kidnapped her on the eve of her wedding. The groom, Sathish, works in Singapore and is the son of Kamaraj of Koranaattu Karuppur near Kumbakonam and the bride, Subhasakthi, is the daughter of Ravi from the same locality. The two have been in love with each other for the past eight years. Both their families had opposed their marriage on caste considerations.

Intent on somehow marrying his sweetheart, Sathish came home from Singapore recently and had managed to convince the girl’s mother Madhavi and it was agreed that the marriage will be concluded at the Registrar’s Office.
Meanwhile, there was a change of heart among both the families and a proper wedding was planned to be solemnised at Tirunageswaram on Thursday. However, on the night of the wedding, the bride apparently did not reach the wedding venue. It was then that the bride Subhasakthi called the groom Sathish on his mobile and informed that she had been kidnapped and kept in a locked room by her father. She had even cried that if the wedding was halted, she would commit suicide.

Following this, Sathish approached the all-woman police station in Kumbakonam and registered a complaint explaining that the wedding was organised with the consent of the girl’s parents but suddenly, they had kidnapped her and kept her in an unknown location. The police were requested to search for the bride and ensure the wedding is conducted. Police have registered a complaint and are making enquiries with Subhasakthi’s parents.
