‘Bulldozer at Midnight’: Bride’s Father Allegedly Demolishes Groom’s House in Gwalior

In a dramatic late-night incident that has stunned residents, a bride’s father allegedly used a bulldozer to partially demolish the groom’s house in Gwalior following a dispute linked to a marriage arrangement.

Incident on September 9

The incident dates back to the night of September 9, when the home of 38-year-old Vaniya Singh Gurjar reportedly came under attack. According to police sources, a group of individuals arrived at the property with a bulldozer and began tearing down sections of the structure around midnight.

Neighbours reported loud noises and chaos as parts of the house were damaged before authorities could intervene.

Alleged Marriage Dispute

Preliminary investigations suggest the demolition was triggered by tensions between the two families over the proposed marriage. Sources indicate that disagreements had escalated in the days leading up to the incident, though the exact cause of the fallout remains under investigation.

Police officials said the bride’s father is suspected to have orchestrated the act, allegedly taking the extreme step after negotiations between the families broke down.

Police Action

Following a complaint filed by Vaniya Singh Gurjar, a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including charges related to trespassing, rioting, and destruction of property.

Authorities have launched a probe to identify all individuals involved in the demolition. The bulldozer used in the act has reportedly been seized as part of the investigation.

Community Shocked

The brazen nature of the act — carried out in the dead of night — has left the local community shocked. Residents described the incident as unprecedented, saying they had never witnessed such retaliation in a matrimonial dispute.

Police officials stated that strict action will be taken against those found guilty and assured that law and order in the area remains under control.

The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected as authorities question the accused and gather evidence related to the incident.
