UP Wedding Plunges Into Darkness As Lineman Cuts Power Over 'Financial Dispute'
•A wedding in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, was disrupted when a lineman cut the electricity supply to the groom Shubham Chauhan's house just as the procession was about to leave.
•Shubham alleged no prior notice was given, and officials insisted on cutting power despite his pleas for a delay, claiming all bills were paid.
•A video shows the lineman cutting the connection, raising questions about the lack of a ladder and the department's accountability.
•Superintendent Engineer Dharam Raj Singh stated the incident was the lineman's fault, pressured by a colonizer due to a financial dispute with Shubham.
•Electricity was restored to Shubham's house by Friday morning, and an investigation is underway with promises of strict action.
