The proposed marriage is to take place on February 16.
The miscreant's warning went in a cinematic way: "This is the trailer. Get ready to watch the entire movie unfolding on February 16 at the bride's place. Mantu Singh, you should stay away from my lover Karishma. Or else get ready to face bullets. Members of the Baraat party, including your family members will also be shot. The marriage venue will be converted into a Shamshan (funeral pyre)."
