Be cautious if your girlfriend's or boyfriend's family invites you over, as the meeting might just be a pretext for a larger conspiracy.

Called for a meeting under the guise of discussing marriage

The girl's family invited the boy to meet them, ostensibly to discuss marriage, and then attacked him with a cricket bat. According to reports, the girl's family was against the relationship from the beginning and had warned the boy multiple times to stay away from their daughter.

Srija's family had warned Sai multiple times

Aminpur Circle Inspector Naresh, while providing details of the case, stated that Srija's family was against the relationship and had warned Sai multiple times to stay away from Srija. However, when Sai did not relent despite repeated warnings, Srija's parents decided to eliminate him.
