Mumbai, India — In a shocking and bizarre incident that left bystanders stunned, a man in Mumbai cut his fiancée’s bridal lehenga with a knife inside a clothing store following a dispute between the woman and the shopkeeper. The incident, which took place in a bustling shopping area, has gone viral on social media, raising concerns about public behavior and mental health.

According to eyewitnesses and initial reports, the couple had entered the store to finalize the purchase of a bridal lehenga for their upcoming wedding. However, a heated argument broke out between the woman and the shopkeeper over the quality and price of the garment. The situation quickly escalated, drawing attention from other customers and staff members.

During the altercation, the woman reportedly became visibly upset and began accusing the store of misleading pricing. The shopkeeper, in turn, allegedly responded rudely, triggering further tension. As the verbal spat intensified, the man accompanying her — later identified as her fiancé — appeared increasingly agitated.

In an unexpected turn of events, the man pulled out a small knife from his bag and, in a dramatic outburst, began cutting the lehenga his fiancée was wearing. Shocked customers tried to intervene, while store employees immediately called the police.

Fortunately, no one was physically harmed during the incident, though the woman was reportedly left shaken and embarrassed. The store sustained minor damage, and the ruined lehenga — worth several thousand rupees — was taken in as evidence.

Police arrived at the scene and detained the man for questioning. Preliminary investigations suggest that the individual may have acted out of frustration and impulse, though authorities are not ruling out deeper psychological issues.

“We have taken the individual into custody and are investigating the matter further,” a police official told reporters. “While no injuries occurred, this kind of behavior is unacceptable and will be dealt with as per the law.”

The couple, according to sources, had been engaged for a few months and were scheduled to marry later this year. It is unclear how this incident will affect their future plans.

The video of the man cutting the lehenga has circulated widely online, with many users expressing disbelief and concern. Some called for stricter penalties for public disturbances, while others emphasized the importance of anger management and mental health support.

As the investigation continues, the store has issued a statement condemning the behavior and assuring customers of their safety and service standards.
