According to a report, a software engineer who traveled from a suburb of Delhi, India to his home in Bihar for his wedding in June could have infected nearly 100 guests with coronavirus.
The 30-year-old man arrived in the city of Paliganj the second week of May, before the event on June 15, before he started to develop COVID-19 symptoms, such as fever and diarrhea. He was not tested for the virus, according to CBS, as his family pushed for him not to reschedule the wedding.
The groom received over-the-counter fever medications and continued the wedding as planned. He died two days later and the family cremated him quickly without informing the authorities. The event welcomed more than 350 people in total.

“Although he felt unwell before June 14 and wanted the wedding to be postponed, the heads of families on both sides advised against it, citing huge financial losses if the arrangements were to be canceled,” a relative later told The Indian Express. .

Authorities are investigating the incident.
