In the meantime, one Ponnu, relative of Annadurai threatened the said Anjugam not to marry Annadurai. As per marriage https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ scheduled, all the relatives and friends assembled in the marriage hall but the bridegroom Annadurai did not come.

The said case was registered in Crime No.34 of 2007 on an alleged offence under sections 417, 420 and 506(ii) of I.P.C. 3.
