He can inform his parents to contact the girl's family and inform them about your decision to cancel the marriage proposal.
A legal notice also can be given to communicate your decision to cancel the marriage proposal for the reasons you may rely upon and undertake to reimburse the expenses they incurred towards the engagement in order to avoid them who may try to falsely implicate you in a dowry harassment case.

Only the engagement was done but now you can directly tell to the parents of the bride to cancel the marriage. The groom shall pay the amount spent for the engagement.

take caution:
girl family can any time allege that the engagement is broken due to non-fulfillment of dowry demand. You should have a legally tenable grounds to break engagement.
The present reason you are giving for cancellation of engagement s utterly miserable.
