A bizarre story about a relationship in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh has been spreading on social media which has people amused and shocked by the fact that it was revealed. The viral account says a married man Pramod was left alone following his wife’s visit to her parent’s home for a few days.
Since he thought she would not return anytime soon he hired an escort while she was away. But what happened next turned out to be an extraordinary coincidence that has become the main talking point of the story. The wife's name has not been revealed in the viral story and it is not verified.
Pramod had contacted a service that arranged escorts and had made a list of the kind of woman he was looking for. He paid a little bit of ₹3,000 for the deal and agreed to meet for a time period. After the payment he had booked a hotel and made contact with the woman who he was going to meet with.
The husband who was expecting a private meeting waited at the hotel for her and the viral story portrays him getting excited to meet the woman after his wife went to her parents’ home.
The woman arrived at the hotel at the agreed time, but instead of the encounter going as Pramod had expected, when he opened the door it left him completely stunned, the woman in front of him was his own wife.
The wife also decided to make some money while away from home and got involved in the same kind of deal, according to the viral account. Neither of them expected the other to be there in the hotel. This meant that the husband who had allegedly booked an escort ended up face to face with his own spouse.
The incident has attracted considerable attention because of the extraordinary coincidence at the heart of the story. The viral account states that the husband and wife were both caught off guard and were left with little room for accusation after they discovered what the other was doing.
However, these details remain part of a fictitious social media story and there is no independent evidence of what happened inside the hotel or what the couple did after.
It also does not provide evidence of whether any complaint was filed, whether police were involved or whether the couple took any further action following the alleged encounter.
The story has also sent off a torrent of funny reactions on Twitter and Facebook. Many people on social media have been focusing on the extraordinary coincidence, some have even done the mental math of finding out who the person is before meeting them, some even believed that people who arrange the meeting should at least know who they are meeting with, and others have viewed the whole thing as a movie plot-like incident.
But the viral nature of the story should not be taken as proof that the story actually happened as it was reported. Social media are full of sensational stories about relationships and never provide any true background information.
The Bhopal incident, however, is still an unverified viral story with no clear information about who actually did the hotel visit and no proof. The biggest twist in the story is probably that according to it the man and the woman he had apparently booked turned out to be husband and wife.
It is not clear whether this is a real story or just a fictional story on social media. Until we have credible sources or official records to verify or debunk it, this story should be considered viral and not news based.
