We see several bizarre incidents related to love affairs almost every day. But here is a peculiar case of love triangle which reached a climax through a coin toss. Yes, a toss decided the fate of three persons.
The incident which has all the makings of a Bollywood movie, took place at Sakleshpur Taluk of Hassan district in Karnataka. It all started a year ago when a 27-year-old man from a village in Sakleshpur bumped into a 20-year-old girl from a neighbouring village. The two started meeting and their relationship blossomed.
Six months ago, the same man bumped into another from another village. Then history repeated itself - this relationship developed too. All this while, both girls were in the dark about the guy two-timing them.

Being the only son of an ex-ZP member and belonging to a financially well-off family were advantages for the man. But, one fateful day, a relative spotted him with a girl and informed his father about it. The family confronted him about the said girl. He said he was in love with the girl and wanted to marry her. The family disagrees to this and decides to fix his wedding with someone else as soon as possible.
One of the girls learns about this and tells her family about her interest in the man. The said girl’s family visits the man’s house and tells them about the alleged affair that they learnt from their daughter. Meanwhile the other girl also gets to know what was going on and her family also ends up at the man’s house.
Now, the guy’s parents are in a fix as to what to be done in such a situation. By then, entire village had learnt about the love triangle. They finally decided to go to the village Panchayat to sort out this matter. It was then decided that the Panchayat would toss a coin to decide which girl would marry the man.

But know that I will definitely lead a wonderful life right in front of you. Also, beware because I won’t spare you either."
The couple is now reportedly married.
