A day after walking down the aisle, a 22-year-old bride eloped from a reception venue in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal on Wednesday night, a police official said on Thursday.

The bride is a resident of Ganjbasoda, Vidisha district. She tied the knot against her desire with a Bhopal resident on February 18 in Ganjbasoda and their reception party was scheduled to be held in Bhopal. The couple reached the venue on Wednesday night where she got out of the car and escaped by sitting in another car from the spot.

After the incident, the groom lodged a complaint at TT Nagar police station. Acting on it, the police registered a missing complaint and began a search operation to find the bride.

The groom told the police that upon reaching the venue for the reception, he came out of the car and bride stepped down from the other gate. In the meantime, she sat in another car and escaped from the spot."
