Groom Navin Kumar, a resident of Sheikhpura district, had led a wedding procession to the village to perform wedding with the girl.
Even as the bride family was busy welcoming the wedding guests, the jilted lover identified as Mithun Kumar threw a bottle of acid on the groom from behind.
The groom sustained grievous injuries in the incident and had to be admitted to a local hospital for treatment although he escaped injuries on his face.
Soon after the incident, the wedding procession returned in protest but after intervention of some senior citizens, the wedding rituals were completed the very next day.
The police have registered a case against the jilted lover and raids are on to nab the absconding accused.
