A prisoner serving a life sentence in Haryana, Mainpal Dhilla (also reported as Mainpal Badli), is granted short parole to marry his Cambodian partner. Local reports say he receives a roughly 12-hour parole period and the wedding takes place at Dulina Farm in Jhajjar, under heavy police security.
The accounts connect the permission to marry with his detention status and ongoing legal constraints. NDTV reports that Dhilla was extradited from Cambodia in 2025 and is currently serving a life term in a jail in Jhajjar. Times of India adds that he had been previously on parole-related leave in 2018 and notes that he faces multiple serious criminal cases, including murder, before and after his current conviction.
While outlets differ on details such as the exact timing and the extent of his earlier parole history, both reports agree on the core facts: the extradition from Cambodia, his imprisonment in Haryana, and the granting of parole specifically to enable the wedding.
