Despite both families of the bride and groom denying the allegations, Police were called to the scene, and the couple, along with their families, were brought to the police station.

While they were later released, UCA News reported that Police have now launched an investigation into the marriage due to a complaint from Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajarang Dal, organizations “opposed to Christians and their charitable work.”

“It is very sad that Christians are simply targeted for their faith,” said Father Maria Stephen, public relations officer of the Catholic Church in Madhya Pradesh.
