Punjab police have filed a theft case after Rs 35,000 went missing from a wedding ceremony held at a resort in Zirakpur.
Police in Punjab received a report that Rs 35,000 was taken from a wedding ceremony being held at a resort in Zirakpur. The incident was brought to the attention of local authorities by the bride's family, who noticed the shortfall shortly after the event concluded.
Investigating officers arrived at the venue, recorded statements from the couple, their relatives and the resort staff, and subsequently registered a theft case under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. The amount stolen was cash, kept in a secure box for the wedding expenses.
The police have launched a preliminary inquiry, reviewing CCTV footage from the resort and questioning attendees to identify any suspicious activity. No arrests have been made so far, and investigators have appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the recovery of the missing funds.
Such incidents, though relatively rare in the region, underscore the need for heightened security measures at private events, especially where large sums of cash are handled.
