Malda, April 11: A groom is fighting for his life after being beaten up and forced to drink poison by goons on the night of his wedding. He accuses the father of the girl he had loved -and ditched - of carrying out the attack.


Hefjur Rahman of Kheria, a village in Ratua, had a long affair with a neighbour and the two families apparently had no problem with the match. While Hefjur's father, Abdul Hai, wanted the marriage to take place immediately, the girl's father, Taleb, wanted to buy some time. Hai was in hurry and tried to persuade his son to marry elsewhere.


Meanwhile, the wedding of Hefjur's elder brother, Mostakin, was fixed with a girl of a neighbouring village. On the insistence of his family, Hefjur agreed to leave for his lover. A bride was chosen for Hefjur from the same village as his brother's and the brothers were married on April 8.


Hefjur and his brother came home with their brides on Monday and the reception was to take place in the grooms' house on Tuesday.


But on Monday night, when Hefjur went out of his room, he was attacked by a band of goons who had apparently been waiting for him. Md Sakir Hossain, a relative of Hefjur, said: "As per custom, the brides slept in one room while we were with the grooms in another room. Hefjur went out at night. When he did not return for a long time, we became suspicious and called him. We found his mobile switched off. We ran out of the house and started to look for him. We found him lying senseless, his hands and legs tied with a rope."


Hefjur was rescued and taken to the Malatipur health centre, where it was found that Hefjur had consumed poison. The doctors referred him to Malda Medical College.


Lying in his hospital bed Hefjur said: "I went out to the toilet around 11.30pm. Suddenly, some goons grabbed me, roughed me up, tied my hands and forced me to drink pesticide. I could recognize Taleb Ali in the group. I don't remember anything after that."


A complaint has been lodged with police but there are no arrests yet. Taleb and the other suspects are said to have fled the village
