Haryana Gangster Granted 12-Hour Parole to Marry Cambodian Partner Under Police Guard
Mainpal Dhilla, a Haryana gangster serving life sentences for multiple murder convictions, was granted a 12-hour custody parole to marry his Cambodian partner, Meta Chan, at a farmhouse near Jhajjar jail. Dhilla fled India in 2018 while on parole, using a fake identity, and lived in Cambodia with Chan and their children before being extradited back to India in 2025. The wedding was conducted under heavy police security, with Dhilla required to return to jail the same day.
