One good turn deserves another

[Ramu Mutt]

In this time of political unrest, zigzagging stock markets and global recessionary crises it is good that our media still has not lost touch with the finer, more refined things in life.

On the 31st of Januray 2008, the Hindustan Times had this eye-cathing story:

First wife thrashes man at his ‘wedding’

It was straight out of a Bollywood film. A 32-year-old placement agency owner was bashed up by his wife at a place where he was preparing to marry another woman. The incident took place in Central Delhi’s Prasad Nagar on Tuesday night.

It is incidents like this that is making people move from Mumbai to Delhi. Who says Delhi doesn't have the culture scene that Mumbai has?

The police said the accused, Mukesh Khanna, had been married to Reena from Jharkhand for four years. The couple also has a two-year-old child. Mukesh began avoiding Reena and got engaged to the other woman, a resident of Prasad Nagar, in May last year.

“Mukesh kept his first wife in the dark and was about to marry another woman. His first wife turned up at the wedding venue on Tuesday night and thrashed him with slippers and abused him. Reena was also carrying her wedding photographs when she came to the venue,” said a senior police officer.

You have to feel bad for Mukesh. Imagine the subterfuge, planning and organization skills it must have taken to pull this thing off. Women have a sixth sense for scheming men. Also does anyone have the videos from the wedding? Would make a killer viral...

On with the story:

Police said that Reena went up to the stage where the rituals were taking place and beat up her husband. As the situation became evident even to the family members of the bride, they too joined Reena and began beating him.

“Had the police not intervened in time the accused and his father would have been lynched. The bride’s parents got extremely violent. It took us hours to control the situation,” added the officer.

If you thought one woman scorned was bad enough, imagine two. Clearly this is not what Mukesh had in mind when he must have thought to himself: "Two women. Same time. A little spanking. Awesome..."

Police took Mukesh and his father Manjeet Khanna in custody soon after the incident. “They have been arrested for cheating, criminal breach of trust and criminal conspiracy,” said the officer.

Police said that Mukesh was living with Reena in Shakurpur and had even opened a placement agency in her name. Mukesh’s family was against the marriage as Reena belonged to a scheduled tribe. Reena, who said she was pregnant, added that she came to know about the fraud when she stumbled upon the wedding card of her husband.

What to do Mukesh? You violated that most basic law. Never leave a wedding card at home where the wife can find it. Especially if you have your name on it.
