A unique cross-border wedding ceremony took place in this Uttar Pradesh district, when a BJP leader's son married a Pakistani girl through an online "nikah".
Tahseen Shahid, a BJP corporator, had arranged the marriage of his elder son, Mohammad Abbas Haider, with Andleep Zahra, a resident of Lahore. Despite applying for visa, the groom was unable to obtain it due to
the ongoing political tensions between the two neighboring countries.
The situation became even more challenging when the bride's mother, Rana Yasmin Zaidi, fell ill and was admitted to the ICU in Pakistan. In light of these circumstances, Shahid decided to conduct the wedding ceremony online.
