It all happened during the pre-wedding ceremony called the Jaggo during which many friends and relatives arrived at Toor’s aunt’s home in Tracy.
A Punjabi couple Mandiver Toor and his fiance Raman’s wedding witnessed the presence of two deputies of the Sheriff’s department last month.
During the course of the function, the guests forgot that the loud music and hub-bub would disturb others in the neighbourhood
That’s when some people from their neighborhood complained to the cops. The police reached the venue where the ceremony was taking place and left everyone in shock.
However, the fear soon subsided when the deputies decided to shake a leg with them on the dance floor and groove to some Punjabi tracks.
The incident was reported by the television channel ABC10 which claimed that the incident took place on April 13.
As Mandiver’s family member Manpreet Toor said, “We just sang, we danced, we just partied because we were super excited. The music was really loud because it was an outdoor event.”
The party continuedd beyond 10 pm and this is when the neighbours decided to report the matter. So when the cops arrived at the venue and asked them to lower their voices and the volume of their music, the family agreed only on condition that the deputies will dance along with them on a song.
“We just turned around and everyone’s like, ‘the cops are here,’. We were kind of nervous because we thought they were going to shut the whole party down and it was pretty early
As Mandiver’s family member Manpreet Toor said, “We just sang, we danced, we just partied because we were super excited. The music was really loud because it was an outdoor event.”
“Instead of shutting everything down, the cops agreed to join them. Manpreet continued, “We spoke to them, they were super cool, super chill. We asked them to dance and then I taught him two moves, ‘turn the doorknob’, ‘turn the lightbulb’, ‘crush the cigarette’ and he got up there and he just did his own thing. He was awesome.”
“As soon as they started dancing, everyone went crazy,” Manpreet said. “Everyone had their phone out, the camera guy was on stage recording him, we were super excited.”
The video of the same was captured by wedding photographer Kanda Productions and was shared on Instagram with a caption reading, “When the cops got called, but it was a Punjabi Wedding (
Later, in a tweet, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office praised everyone for their kindness. The tweet read, “Our Deputies were thrilled with the kindness and hospitality of the guests! It should be noted that the homeowners did agree to turn the music down (sic).”
Two days later Manvinder and Raman exchanged their vows and even sent a reception invitation to the two deputies.
