However, with the disease spreading from March 15 she realised that any kind of gathering was not advisable.

Further, lockdown was effected across the country.

“It was then we decided not to hold the marriage,” Pruthvi told PTI.

Another reason behind postponing the marriage was that her presence was essential in Malavalli.

“Being the DySP of Malavalli, my presence here was very much important.Malavalli is declared as a hotspot now. It is in the red zone.

There are already 11 cases identified here,” the police officer said.
