A man in Assam’s Nalbari district bathed himself in milk to mark his “freedom”, recording the video of this unique celebration.
Manik Ali was celebrating the divorce with his wife, who had a history of eloping following extra-marital affairs. Ali can be heard saying, “I am free from today” in the video, which has gone viral on social media.
A resident of Boroliapara, Ali claimed that his wife had eloped twice and he
had convinced her to return both times for the sake of their minor daughter. But unable to continue living in uncertainty, the couple had taken legal recourse for divorce, which was granted a couple of days ago.
As Ali received the news of his official divorce, he decided to mark the occasion in this unique manner. He gathered 40 litres of milk in four buckets and bathed himself with it, proclaiming repeatedly, “I am free from today”.
