23rd May was marked a day of the utmost importance when thousands of citizens stepped out of their homes to vote for a better future for the country.

However, while most Indians were busy anticipating the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections, a bride from Madhya Pradesh ran away with the same priest who performed her wedding rituals just two weeks ago!

The incident took place in Tori Bagrod, Sironj city of Madhya Pradesh. According to sources, Vinod Maharaj was a regular priest at a temple located at Asath village. Hence, on May 7 when the woman was to get married, Maharaj was asked to perform the wedding ceremony. 3 days after the wedding was done and dusted, the woman came back to her parent’s house, in accordance with rituals.

On May 23, another wedding in the same locality was to take place for which Maharaj, again, was asked to perform the rituals. However, this time, he was nowhere to be found.

After people started looking for him, they discovered that even the woman was missing from her home. After her relatives lodged a complaint, investigations began.

On the following days, it was further discovered that the priest and the woman were in a romantic relationship for the past two years!

What’s worse? The priest was already married and had two children of his own! And now the entire family is missing.

Reports also revealed that the woman ran away with jewellery worth Rs. 1.5 lakh and Rs. 30,000 cash.

Well, this is the kind of love affair nobody would expect!
