ALOR SETAR: A groom had to spend his first night in the lock-up after he helped one of his friends evade arrest during his wedding reception. The 35-year-old groom had created a diversion to distract a police team who were there to arrest a wanted man at a hotel’s ballroom in Jalan Putra on Sunday. Kota Setar district police chief Asst Comm Mohd Rozi Jidin said they nabbed the groom at his house here early yesterday morning. “During the commotion, the wanted man fled using the back door of the hotel,” he said. ACP Mohd Rozi said another commotion also broke out when they arrested the groom at his house, and they had to call for back-up.
