A software engineer who traveled from a Delhi, India, suburb to his home in Bihar for his wedding in June could have infected nearly 100 guests with coronavirus, according to a report.

The 30-year-old arrived in the town of Paliganj the second week of May, ahead of the June 15 event, before he began to present symptoms of COVID-19, including fever and diarrhea. He wasn’t tested for the virus, according to CBS, as his family pushed for him not to reschedule the wedding.

The groom was given over-the-counter medicine for the fever and went on with the wedding as planned. He was dead two days later and the family quickly cremated him without informing authorities. The event hosted more than 350 people in total.

India lifted its nationwide lockdown in June after two months of enforcement, which eased restrictions on business, but large social gatherings are still prohibited, with weddings specifically not allowed to have more than 50 guests.

Officials are investigating the incident.
