There are ways and modes through which the CCTV footage can become a not important evidence for the coUrt. for the offence of bigamy to be establish, the malafide intention has to be proved. if shown that the wife was aware of the second marriage and connivenced in it. Charge can be laid off. 120 B won't suffice.
