A marketing professional and a doctor got married in Pune on Saturday amid the lockdown in the presence of police personnel, with an officer and his wife playing father and mother to carry out the ”kanyadaan” ritual.
Marketing professional Aditya Bisht and doctor Neha Kushwaha were scheduled to get married on May 2 in Uttarakhand’s Dehradun but the plan went awry due to the virus outbreak and the subsequent lockdown.
The couples’ parents took part in the wedding from Nagpur and Dehradun through video calls, an official said.
“Last month Aditya’s father Devendra Bisht called up the Pune police control room to get information on whether the couple can go to Dehradun during the lockdown. He got my number as I am the nodal officer for Hadapsar police station,” police official Prasad Lonare said.
“When we told him movement during lockdown for this purpose was not possible, Devendra Bisht asked us if police could help them get married here. I spoke to my seniors who gave permission.
