India Today
The coordinator of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), Naitik Choudhary, was caught by the police after he reached the mass wedding in MP's Sagar district to remarry his wife allegedly to avail benefits of Mukhyamantri Kanyadan Yojana.
Married only 15 days ago, the coordinator of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), Naitik Choudhary, reached the mass marriage conference in Balaji temple premises in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh to get married again.
It is alleged that the youth Congress leader wanted to avail the benefits of 'Mukhyamantri Kanyadan Yojana' and hence he reached the pavilion in Balaji temple complex located in Dharamsree of Sagar, to remarry his wife.
However, while he was sitting, he was noticed by the organisers, who immediately informed the police.
Subsequently, police reached the spot and arrested Naitik but he was later released.
Regarding this whole matter, BJP state media in-charge Lokendra Parashar tweeted in Hindi which can be translated as, "This sir is the national coordinator of NSUI. To take advantage of the Chief Minister's Kanyadan Yojana, he went to get married for the second time. It is reported that the police have caught him. What do you say, Kamal Nath ji!" (sic)
