The woman had been brought up at the accused's house, according to police.
"She recently eloped with a man in the village and got married to him. Since, it was not acceptable to Patil, he gate-crashed the wedding reception ceremony at a marriage hall on Tuesday and mixed a poisonous substance in the food items which were being prepared for the guests," Sub-inspector Kondubhairi said.
While the man was mixing the poisonous substance in the food, people around him tried to stop him and overpowered him, the official said.
"He then fled from the spot. We have registered an offence against him under sections 286 (negligent conduct with respect to poisonous substance), 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) and other relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)," the official said.
"Efforts are on to nab him," he said.
No one consumed the food in which the poisonous substance was mixed and its samples have been sent to a forensic lab, the police added.
