Man slices Rs 32,000 bridal lehenga in shop after fiancee’s dispute with owner in Maharashtra. Video

An incident in Maharashtra's Kalyan has gone viral on social media after CCTV footage captured a man storming into a bridal boutique and slicing up a Rs 32,000 lehenga in a fit of rage. The act of vandalism occurred following an argument between his fiancée and the shopkeeper over the return policy of the outfit.

According to a report by India Today, the incident took place at Kalakshetra, a fashion store located in Kalyan West, on June 17. Meghna Makhija had purchased a bridal lehenga from the store for her upcoming wedding. However, after changing her mind about the purchase, she attempted to return the outfit.

Makhija reportedly claimed that the shopkeeper had initially assured her that the outfit could be exchanged within a month. But upon returning to the store, the shopkeeper allegedly refused to accept the lehenga back, resulting in a heated argument.

Later the same day, her fiance, Sumit Sayani, arrived at the store visibly enraged. He confronted the shopkeeper and became aggressive when the argument escalated. The confrontation took a violent turn when Sayani allegedly pulled out a knife from his pocket and began slashing the bridal lehenga inside the store, in full view of stunned staff and customers.
